I think this might be the slip yoke problem that someone else posted.

Hi and welcome to the forum
The noise you're hearing quite likely is the slip yoke probem but you could also have a bad U-joint. If you remove the shaft to lube the slip yoke you can carefully check the U-joints to make sure they don't have any play in them or that they aren't seized.
