Recently when I drive I noticed this noise which tends to come around 2000rpm. Going through the gears I can't hear anything through first and second, then it starts in this rev band through 3rd and especially 4th at lower speeds say 35mph-45mph. I looked under the car at the muffler to see if there was a hole under it but it looks sound. Any idea what might be causing the problem? Its not got any worse. I drive about 40 miles in it per day. It is a manual.

Is this a manual shift transmission?– Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦Commented Mar 30, 2016 at 10:21

1Can you record the noise and post it? Where is it coming from? The front, left, right, rear?– race feverCommented Mar 30, 2016 at 14:17

It is coming from the back, but you can't hear it in 1st or 2nd. It is progressive, dull, low-mid range tonally, sounds like it is under the car.– Andrew WelchCommented Mar 30, 2016 at 14:45

It's almost impossible to really translate a sound through the written word. Anything you could do to get a good recording of the sound to post into your question would be very helpful.– DucatiKillerCommented Apr 4, 2016 at 16:34

It was the wheel bearing which was causing the problem.
