Default noise (video) help

I got a noise coming from the back of the car. Like the diff or axel or something. So I changed my tranny and dif fluid and that didn't solve anything. No metal shavings. Its at Nissan. Had a tech from hibdon tell me it sounds like the throw out bearing but its coming from behind me. Mayb someone can recognize the noise and point me in the right direction. At first it only did it when downshifting but now it does it while decelerating in any gear. Loudest in 2nd and 3rd. Hopefully Nissan will find it but they were more focused on the back fire and flywheel chatter cause this is a small town and they don't really come across modded cars.

That's what I thought because it sounds like its behind me and the transmission ends at the stick. Mayb its just wheel bearings or diff. If its a diff then I'm gonna research lsd and DIY it.

Wheel bearings could be the issue. I know mine were bad on my other car but it wasn't gear or rpm dependent but speed. So for example at 50 mph it was the worst

It could b goin on at speed but honestly my exhaust drowns the world out. I commute through the highway but if these techs do a 24 point inspection like they said they would,they should catch that

Does it make the same noise if you accelerate and then freewheel to a stop with the clutch pushed in? The reason i ask is because when you take the left hand corner it doesn't seem to make the noise. It doesn't seem to be making the noise when you're accelerating and i would have thought that if it were a wheel bearing it'd happen on acceleration and decceleration. It sounds to me like something is loose, maybe you need to get it up on ramps and have a look yourself because I'd be a bit concerned if the Nissan 'techs' are more concerned about a bit of popping and banging on overrun they're perhaps not the right people you want looking at your motor. Good Luck with it.

Yea when I turned I pressed the clutch because of the sound and it doesn't happen when I accel. I didn't notice anything when I was down there changing the tranny and diff fluid but I guess I could take it to the shop on post today and take a look. If anything they have mechanics that I'm cool wit there I can talk to. Got that Puerto Rican connection lol. Ima call Nissan and if they can't get over the noises that I know about then I'll just pick it up. Flywheel is loud and backfires because powah lol.
