Does the noise happen at 2000 rpm in every gear?

If so I would be looking at the transmission housing & forward being engine rev dependent

Where is the noise coming from - front rear or middle?

Put it in neutral, put revs to 2000 does it happen then? Change to active select does it happen in every gear?

Sounds like something’s resonating. Could be many things
Neutral is no help. For one the shaft wont spin and for two there's no load on it even if you jacked the wheels up.

Definitely sounds like a drive shaft issue to me likley hit a stick and unbalanced it.

I don't know I did a transmission rebuild like half a year ago the problem was happening before the transmission broke down

If it’s a drive shaft issue it wouldn’t be resonating at 2000 rpm in every gear, it would be road speed dependant.

What about the exhaust mounts

Actually just answered my own question would happen in neutral if exhaust

ye i can pretty much floor it after 40km/h and the sound doesn't come up.
yesterday I scanned the computer for error codes and got p0700 & p0741 which is torque converter clutch solenoid- performance or stuck off, not sure if it's related
