Yup... when I had the dealer (or more specifically suggested me to) put in a new clutch with the revised disc. You can still hear a little but 80% quieter.

I have a similar sound as you... it seems to be different from the clutch decel buzz since it is in the lower RPM range. I have the clutch buzz in the higher rpm when you let off the gas, but if you are lower in the gear, there is another sound/vibration that is somewhat like the clutch buzz just muffled.

The sound is similar, but you can usually feel it somewhat in the car. Best way to describe it would be like running over the rumble strips, but maybe 25% of the feeling to it.

I have just written it off as a trait of the car since I checked the driveshaft, and it seems good and tight. I would like to get rid of it if possible. If it is the clutch, maybe I need to roast it so I have a reason to upgrade.

I had a tailshaft bearing go that was causing a pretty loud hum but nothing in the front end just in the rear.But now that the back is fixed the front end clutch hum is alot worst. But i have heard that swaping out to an aftermarket oem clutch will solve the problem for alittle but the hum is just a part of our cars and it will come back

Is there any way to check if this bearing is bad? And exactly where is it located?

Someone please correct me if i am wrong but i believe there are 3 bearings...one towards the front of the shaft and 2 at the end where it connects to the differential. But this is most likely not the problem this will be more of a hum in the rear end and underneth the seats. I was hopeing this might help some of the other drivetrain noise but it didnt.
