What’s causing this sound?:

It just started happening yesterday when I got back from a road trip. My guess is a clutch bearing but idk which on or if it’s something else completely different.

Sounds expensive.

Just lifted the car and it’s for sure something to do with either the clutch or transmission. The car still drives fine. Clutch engages fine, gear switching is still the same as well.

WTF? Sounds like you're choking a duck at the end of the rev. Does it still make the noise when you pull in the clutch pedal and rev it?

Get the car back in the air again and get someone to raise and lower the RPM's so you can better pinpoint the noise with the clutch pedal in and out. Use either a stethoscope or a long screwdriver to put to areas on the bell housing to help pinpoint the noise. If you use a screwdriver put the handle part to your ear and the flathead or Phillips end on where you want to listen.

You can obviously disregard the wheel bearings, axles, diff and drive shaft as to them not making noise since the noise is present while stationary while revving the engine. I always hated when service writers would just put check noise. *rolls eyes*

I've never heard a noise like this before. I'm interested in what's causing it.

Report back with what you find.

It’s was the test pipe gaskets. Upgraded to metal ones and the noise completely went away

Header side or y-pipe side?

The headers side, one of the gaskets had burned through and I guess that made the weird noise.
