    Whining metal fan sound.

    I know our cars aren't perfect and what not, but what could this be?

    Okay, so, when I'm driving around fast or slow, I hear this whining like a metal fan is ever slow slightly rubbing on something. It kind of sounds like a bad bearing rubbing all over itself, but it isn't. It's coming from the engine area and the sound will go away when I press the clutch.
    I have a lightweight flywheel by the way, and was thinking it could be that? Something to worry about if so?
    It's ~8lbs from what I remember. (maybe 12lbs?)

    Thanks!
