2014 mustang mustang drag/squealing idle through rpms

My 2014 mustang gt is making a noise at idle through the rpm range, it sounds metallic like and it sounds like it’s from the trans. Its like a squeal/ squeak. The car has a rst clutch/ fly wheel and a mgw. It’s not coming from up top or below on the engine. I’ve never heard a noise like this from a car. I’ll post a video of the noise.

car has 46 thousand miles.

Nate, sounds like a throwout bearing going bad. Does it make this sound when the motor is running and the clutch pedal is to the floor?

Nate, if the clutch in your Mustang is whining when the clutch pedal is pressed in, your problem could be a faulty throwout bearing or "clutch release" bearing. These bearings tend to go out over time due to driving conditions, and can eventually leave your Mustang immobile if not tended to. Make sure your clutch system is operating properly by replacing your worn out or malfunctioning throwout bearing. I would change everything, clutch pressure plate and pilot bearing upon doing this job.
