Simple, does it make the noise while sitting still? Not the drive shaft. Check the Cat and muffler to make sure the insides aren't loose.

If they said it's the "tensioner" it's probably the belt tensioner around which the main drive belt circulates. The drive belt powers the air conditioning compressor, water pump, alternator, and power steering pump and the tensioner keeps the belt appropriately tight. A common wear item that can rattle, squeak and whine when it goes bad. Pretty easy repair/replacement.
