Another test is to get it up to speed where noise is loudest, depress clutch, shift to neutral.
Noise still present? Swing car L/R, depress brakes.

Turn engine off only 1 click. ABSOLUTELY do not engage steering lock.
That can be a WILD ride!
This turns the car into a glider. Noise still present?
Swing car left/right.

You can restart car before stopping by ignition on, release the clutch slowly in proper gear.

Yet another test. Determine RPM where noise is present. Hold that RPM in neutral stopped. Noise still present? engine related

Something SHOULD vary the noise.

No way any of us could diag with info you have provided so far...

Need more/better detailed info.

If I had to guess right now my money would be on a wheel bearing but I wouldn't make a monetary bet yet.

All the above test I would complete in less than 30 seconds...

Takes longer to type than DO!
