Prop shaft: no movm ent in and out, very slight when I turn but I think this is normal?

any other ideas guys??
Just to add, on the way home if I get the car at 60mph with the very faint drone noise, if I slip the car from 6th gear to 5th or 4th the revs will increase as they do but the drone stays the same, so would say speed related?

My tyres are crap and stepped on the rear, could this cause that even though it stops once I have my foot off the gas pedal??

Also how does the AWD system work with this? reason I ask is do the rear wheels only work once front wheels lose grip or is the hadlex system cutting in once I put light pressure on the gas pedal and it's cutting the rear drive in causing this?
