Bump under seat under acceleration

Bump under seat under acceleration
I've got a 2000 A4 Avant Tiptronic. After it shifts into second gear, there's a bumping under the center console area every time, otherwise it drives smoothly. This happens only in 2nd at a certain rpm. It feels just like I drove over a set of small speed ripples/bumps.
I'm wondering if this is related to the drive shaft. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mine was exactly like that on my dear departed 96. It was deceleration at a certain speed....20-28 mph. Was one of the cv joints on my drive shaft.

There is a CV joint at each end of the center shaft plus the center support bearing. If you can move the center shaft at either end or in the middle you should be able to make the sound or at least feel it. This whole thing may be a tad over engineered.
