Default Neutral Whirring Noise?

Hola amigos, been some time since I've been on the forum...what have I missed

My 2005 Z51 manual sprung a leak at the radiator, passenger side, on Thanksgiving day. Car has 48k on the clock.

About the time of the leak, while the car is sitting in neutral, I hear a weird whirring noise? I depress the clutch and the whirring noise eventually spins away? Not sure how else to describe this.

Hop on RockAuto and locate the ACdelco rad and lower support (it took a shot apparently and needed replacement) have it all replaced, lines etc, all fluids swapped.

Noise is still prevalent? Any ideas?

Here's a video I just took


I've been reading forums extensively and from most accounts, this whirring sound is normal?

Whirring sound fading is when the clutch is depressed.

Definitely not normal. It's something inside the torque tube or the input side of the gearbox, probably a bearing.
