If you do loose a joint, the car wont move when you try to get it going. The noise mine made when the axle went was a loud clicking when you applied load to the transmission. Kind of like a very hard to listen to version of baseball cards in a bicycle wheel spoke. There wouldn't be any strange noise just still.
