It could be: input shaft bearing worn, damaged main drive gear bearing, insufficient or poor condition transmission oil (drain and fill with proper grade oil. Check oil for water and/or debris),variation in engine torque (change the idle speed and see if noise goes away), worn, damaged or chipped gear teeth and/or synchronizer.
