Default rattle noise only at idle

2006 corvette convertible has rattle noise from bottom of car goes away soon as you bring up the rpm over 1000. car has no vibrations when driving. I just drove the car to corvettes at carlisle over 800 miles with no problems. but the rattle at idle is not right.
any past problem such as this. the car is all stock. we were under the car noise seems to coming from torque tube in front for automatic transmission. if it were a bad bearing, would it not make noise all the time? thank you for you help.

See if your noise in your car sounds like this one, typical of the bearings going bad.

Oddly enough all I did was move them around with my hands and it stopped. I believe the real fix would be to replace them which is what I will end up doing. If you go under the car they are located at the end of your H pipe attached to the trans, if you hit the pipe with your hand you should be able to duplicate the sound.
