transmission/ front axle tick??

[Rmayo]

My car has developed a tick that sounds like its either coming from the trans or the inner joint on my RF c/v shaft. It only makes the noise when I've got a load on the trans, goes away in neutral, and is louder when engine braking. I'm just wondering if this may be a common issue that anyone might know about or maybe something jumps out at you that i haven't considered checking.

P.S. I've got a 99 outback sport with 5 spd. 2.2 NA totally stock

does it do it more when turning, if so which way? or only when straight or both while turning and going straight with no noticeable difference?

any direction it does it the same, the only thing that changes the noise is my speed.
