It might be the jigger that controls your speedo or tacho needle. Given that it is all electronic, there aren't any cables there to make a noise.

Could alos be a rock/nail/screw in one of your tyres.

Can you tell if it's matched to engine speed vs road speed? Might help narrow it down.
This is not legal advice.

As an elimination, pull the rear shaft out and go for a short drive in 4x4.
Will eliminate tailshaft and possibly diff (no torque)

Also try rolling down a hill....

>clutch out, in gear
>clutch in, in gear
>clutch in, out of gear
>clutch out, out of gear

Try a couple of different gears too, get it to the rev range where it clicks etc.

I have a clicking noise but its only on take off. It then does it when I reverse. But again, only on take off. Cant help with your problem
