Default Noise when lifting off the throttle

Hi all, can anyone hazard a guess at whats wrong with my car...?

When sitting with my foot on the throttle just cruising at about 2k rpm there is a faint whining noise, and when coming off the throttle there is a rattle followed by a scraping/dragging noise. Nothing severe but its definetly there. My mate suggested it could be something like prop shaft bearing etc, but it now turns out he's so busy he cant get a good look at it till next week.

Was just wondering what everybody thinks?

Cheers, Alan

Hmm my gearbox has been doing that for a while, usually in 3rd. Does it stop if you push the gear leaver to the left or right?
