Default Loud "Whining" Noise While Driving - Disco II

The noise, which sounds like a metal "Whining", occurs while moving. Accelerating eliminates the sound, and braking eliminates the sound. I can start and stop the sound by applying pressure to the accelerator pedal and slightly accelerating. I was thinking it might be a axle joint somewhere. HELP.

The fluids were topped off recently, but this noise has been happening for a very long time. I have had a number of shops try to resolve it, but none have. I have always taken very good care of the vehicle. The noise drives my family and me nuts. I suspect it was coming from the u-joints/tranny when transferring from "coasting" to "accelerating" on the road. I asked the shops to make sure everything was lubed, but still have the noise. Help.
