I started noticing this noise on Day 2 of GWNF IV and I thought maybe it was because I was in 4WD, but I'm still getting it and it has become more noticeable (or maybe I'm just listening for it more). It's a kind of grinding noise that seems to be coming from the area under the center console and I can feel a slight vibration under the floorpan in front of the accelerator pedal (no carpet). It only happens when I'm idling in neutral. Maybe the drive shaft? It sounds like a rotation friction type grinding noise. I know that's a strange description, but that's what I'm hearing.

Sounds like the throw-out bearing

Did you have any deep water crossings? Check your trans fluid for water.

Would the throw out bearing cause the noise when I'm in neutral? There's no noise when I'm in gear. I did have some deep water crossings, so I'll check the fluid first. Thanks for the help.

Usually touching the clutch pedal will change/stop the noise from a throwout bearing.
