ok this sounds odd, but thats the only thing I can think of that reminds me of the sound I have coming from the Jeep lately. granted a little more solid sounding, but a constant fluttering, which coincides with wheel-axle shaft-driveshaft rpms, not engine rpms.

I hear it when I drive straight, turning, or reverse. Put it in N and revved but it doesn't change with RPM's. So I am guessing its t-case, drive shaft, axle shaft or tires.
Now it sounds to rapid for it to be the tires, and I have checked the drive train from tcase out, but can't figure this out.
It sounds more like the front of the vehicle than the rear, but thats from inside as far as I can tell.
Now I have noticed what sounds like dry bearings coming from the 8.25, so I will have to replace the outer bearings on it (there are outer bearings right?) I also noticed my rear brakes need to be bled as they aren't doing very much by way of stopping me (noticed while doing sye, hitting brakes didn't stop driver side tire unless I stood on them) But other than that I can't think of anything that would make the sound in the rear.
So other than the rear bearings, I would like to figure out what this sound is, and remedy it... any ideas?
Oh and I did remove the playing card from my spokes if anyones thinking that... yet it still makes the sound.
