Default Makes noise over 30mph

Hey guys, I'm gonna have to take my car to the dealership, but I wanted to throw this out here in case someone else may have experienced this.

My car:

2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro

Once I reach 30mph, my car starts making this humming or (for lack of better word) Grrrring winding noise like something's spinning that's not supposed to be. The faster I go, the louder it gets, once I slow down it's more of a deeper sound. My RPM's aren't revving any differently.

It's a manual transmission.

Please let me know if you've had this problem or maybe know what it could be.

Thanks,

Jarod

I had something very similar. The throwout bearing had to be replaced. How many miles on the car?

Or it can also be worn tires or bad wheel bearing.

How much did the throwout bearing run you to be replaced?

jack the car up *safely* and spin the wheels to see if they make sound
