Angry Urgent help needed

Hi guys

I have C class 180 W203, recently i have noticed the car is making funny noise where the Gear box is located and took it to mechanic after 20 mins drive they said no faults were found ( i wasnot presented at the time of driving). However, this freaking noise still there and i aint sure what is it . Actually when the car is stationary with engine on it doesnot make noise but you drive for 4 or 5 km then you can hear this annoying noise ( like bird singing or whistling) . Does anyone know what it could be ?


Cheers guys

Do you have a auto or manual ?.

I have a high pitched whine from my 5 speed auto .It seems to happen on hot days & long drives.

Definitely sounds like the tranny fluid needs to be changed. Has it ever been changed? if so when? what year is the car?

Probably the throw-out bearing but could be a synchro or needle bearing in the tranny. How many miles on the car? If you put pressure on the clutch does it go away? If yes definitely the throw-out.
