Non TC Related Deathwhine?

My car has started to make a death whine/rumbling rattle which seems like it's coming from the front of the car. I already had my TC sent to Shep and it seems the TC is perfect, nothing wrong what so ever. The sound is very audible on the highway, and it does not go away when I push the clutch pedal letting the car roll.

Shep suggested I check my rear differential. What's bugging me is that it sounds like it coming from the front of the car by the trans/tc. Could it be possible that the rear differential is the real source of the rattle/whine and it's resonated through the driveshaft up to the front of the car? I'm stumped Please LMK your thoughts, thanks

Borrowed this link from someone else's thread. Pretty much what my car sounds like, but quieter

Did you have anything done recently. When I installed my rear diff bushings, It sounded like a quieter version of the deathwhine.

hmmm get your car on a lift, or 4 jack stands, and get under there without running yourself over and check where the noise comes from exactly
