Knock noise.....I guess?

I am hearing a somewhat of a knock noise when I am at idle coming from the back end of my car. It sorta sounds like someone is tapping their index finger on a desk but lightly. I can't seem to duplicate it for the dealer.

Sorry to ask a few hours later but my boss came in while I was typing.
Could it be coming from the fuel pump? Now don't forget to sit at your desk and tap your finger on it from a light to moderate tap(without using your fingernail).......thats what it sounds like. It took me a while to figure out a comparison...hahaha! Damn, maybe someone or something is in my trunk!

mercs.lots of em!
A tapping noise at idle ,in drive?, Could be a loose exhaust pipe banging on the floor or a transmission mount rubber has failed.

had to replace the splines in the axle????? or replace the axle shafts...? !? The Shaft on the left is "Splined" ,so tell me ,how is your mechanic going to change those splines..Hmmm?
