What sort of noise is it? If it's a squeak while moving, replace the rusty u-joints before they break causing serious consequential damage.

If it's a loud BOOM while moving, check for TSBs. It may be caused by the differential ring gear acting like a lasing device and easily curable with a rubber weight.

If you have a loud clunk while changing between forward and reverse gears, check for possibly loose u-joints, weak or broken trans or engine mount, rear (not front) suspension component, excessive gear lash in the drivetrain, high idle speed, cumulative effect of drivetrain gear lash being at the high end of acceptable. Old fluid or low fluid level in transfer case or either front or rear differential may also cause a clunk, as can a problem with an encoder motor due to encoder motor failure, wiring fault, or GEM module fault.

The chances are the shaft in question is most likely made of aluminium. The "tube"of the shaft will carry "noise" of the drive train. The covering is there to help limit the noise and vibration. It is more for dampening noise than a structural covering.
