Maybe gearbox?

    Hello, new here , everytime I lift my foot off the accelerator there's a strange noise, difficult to describe but a slight wearing noise? Could be a clutch issue or just gearbox itself ? It's a 1.6 vtr with 91k miles, any ideas, and could it be gear box oil?

    Sounds like diff bearing is whining

    does it alter with engine speed/road speed, does it do it with clutch in/out, all gears or just some?

    Does when the clutch is out, doesn't do it stationary, just when driving and most noticeable in first and second but does it in all gears and stops when accelerator is pressed, even slightly pressed it stops

    does it sort of sound like a jumbo jet is taking off behind the dash as you gradually build up speed? an old 1.1 I had did that. I think it was the diff bearing, so it need a new gearbox

    Clutch in - no noise
    Clutch out - noise

    Release bearing, fairly common, just try dipping the clutch at different speeds... If its still there then a new box mate
