Its hard to hear where its exactly coming from. Its definetely something behind or below the engine because its difficult to hear when you've got your head in bonnet.

Then in the car I'd say it sounds like its coming from footwell area.
Nah they get worse as the revs increase and the pressure between the gears becomes greater and greater.

Gearbox went in my first car due to oil loss from driveshaft, sounded like a formula 1 car in 2nd gear was quite funny lol.
