Weird Crackle Noise

Alright so this noise is starting to irritate me because i do not know what it is. It sounds as if you just poured milk into a bowl of rice crispies. It is a crackling noise, not very loud. I hear it at idle and when the truck shifts into neutral when i am slowing down. When i am on the pedal it doesn't make the noise. The truck is running fine, just kind of curious if this sounds familiar to anyone. Sorry not to great of info, not really sure how to explain it. Any help will be great. Thanks
