Default Mystery Rattle Noise

So over the last year and a half or so every time my truck is in drive with the brake on, a rattling noise starts. It's ONLY when my truck is in drive WITH the brakes on. If I throw it into neutral the noise goes away or if I apply gas it goes away too but that could be because my exhaust is just too loud so you can't hear it. I can't pinpoint where the rattle comes from though. I thought it was my exhaust but I checked the exhaust hangars to see if the weld had broken but they had not so now I'm confused? Any ideas?

It's possible one of ur brake calipers is not working properly and rubbing while ur in drive. Is it when ur moving or standing still? Is it in the back or front?

It's only when im sitting still with the brakes on and only when I'm in drive. If I put into neutral and leave the brakes on it goes away. I can't tell where it's coming from.
