It's the clutch release bearing. Tadts. Mine's just had a new clutch, release bearing and fully synthetic oil in gearbox and still does it.

Is it related to engine speed?

Mine has just started doing something similar. Doesn't do it straight away from cold, but seems to be there once car warmed up. Only hear it when going slowly - Assume it's there all the time but drowned out by Janspeed and Hurricane at speed! I was guessing at a squeaky suspension bush, since it only does it when moving.

Mine make a similar noise, I'm pretty sure its suspension related for me as it happens over bumps. When i push down on the near side rear it makes the noise. Just need to get under there and lube it all up.

Has a similar thing on my S1, turned out to be the anti roll bar on the front quick squirt of wd40 sorted it out!

Thanxs folks but it makes the tweeting noise after the car is warmed up after say 10 mins, altho as one of u pointed out about the clutch, my clutch does actually make a similar noise when i press it in but when i was goin slowly to listen to it i could hear clutch tweeting and sumit else tweeting. Just wish i cud say that it were a long legged birdy tweeting away with me lol. ANYMORE IDEAS?
