Default noob with some Q's

I just got done doing some light wheeling today and noticed some noises I might have missed in the pass. Now the noises I heard today might have been around all of this jeeps life but the jeep is new to me and I'm new to jeeps. I normally only drive about 4 miles a day (short trips to work rock) but today I went about 150 miles. On the trip I noticed that at low rpm's I can hear noise coming from what I'm guessing is the TC. It's kind of like a rattle but only at low rpm's and it's not any sort of grinding noise. If I up shift the noise goes away. It reminds me of my friends old wrangler. In 4wd there was no noise at all...this is what makes me think that it has to do with the TC. Is this normal? I had my buddy (the only other person I'll let work on my rides) put it up on the lift and between the both of us we could not find any loose parts or anything out of place.
