Default grinding noise when im gonna idle?

Hey, I have a 99 Si. And just yesterday my car started making a funny noise. When im drifting down the road in gear it makes this grinding noise from under the car. but if i hit either the gas or the brake it goes away while my foots on one of the pedals. the moment i take my foot off the noise is back. sometimes its make a quick noise when i hit the lutch too. but only sometimes.

any idea what this could be?
thanks

if its a reasonably loud grinding when you're off the gas, most likely its your input shaft bearings in your tranny.

if it is a bearing you should fix it now while it is only one or two bad ones let it go and you might as well junk the tranny
