Dropped your phone in there? Nah.

When does the ringing noise appear? Is it specifically while you're driving or only when you put the clutch in? Does is stop when you put the clutch in? Is it a slight grinding sound? (Like rolling a steel wheel on concrete.)

Answers to some of these q's will help diagnose your problem.

Sounds like the bearing...the one the pushes the clutch diaphram......just change it next time you need to do the clutch...unless you could some how reach in there throught the fork housing and get some grease around it!

Possibly your throwout bearing in your clutch assembly. Although, you'll usually hear it when its just sitting, and when you put your clutch in, it will slowly disappear. If it's fine while you're sitting and in neutral, it could be slightly worn gear cogs, even just gearbox oil being low.
