Dunno if my noise is the same - I describe it as a burping/farting/buzzing sound which seems to come from somewhere inside the engine compartment.
Maddeningly intermittent, and not able to be produced "at will", though often seems to be on lifting the foot from the throttle.
Sometimes it'll happen after switching off the motor. Great (not...). I don't believe it's linked in any way to the gearbox.
