Default Mid shaft or diff noise ?

Hi guys!
I have a noise in the middle drive shaft or diff I think. There is a faint cackling sound.
I've tried bending the cross links a bit, but I don't see any slack.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience what to do with this?
Please, any advise

There’s a carrier bearing at the diff end of the prop, give it a blast of spray lube and see if it quietens down. If so it’s a replacement bearing.
