    Scraping metal sound

    UPDATE So I brought to mechanic yesterday. He said driveshaft/u-joints/cv joints are fine. He couldn't actually hear the sound when inspecting.

    Scraping metal sound

    Recently started hearing a scraping metal sound that sounds like a wire brush scraping on sheet metal, its not a grinding sound, its very light but rhythmic like something spinning. It sounds like its coming from the transmission area. Any thoughts on what this could be? I have a video but it...
