Weird noise from tranny or diff

Hey guys I recently bought a 2009 TL SHAWD Tech and since a couple of days I've been hearing that noise from either the tranny or the diff. It's not a really loud noise and it makes me think of a diesel engine ( lol ). When I put the transmission on neutral and rev the engine the noise goes away and my tranny's fluid level is good. What do you guys think it ? Maybe the rear diff is missing oil ? Diff is about to die ?

Any inputs are welcome, thanks in advance !

make sure the transfer case is filled with 80W-90 Gear oil and the rear diff is filled with acura DPSF fluid, it should be clearish tan.
