Default Whining/heavy wind like noise when I let of the gas 6 speed ?

Does anyone know what this can be ?
It only happens when I take my foot of the gas. If i press the clutch or gas it goes away ?
Started happening a month ago , I also currently have my front DS removed waiting for repair the last 3 months but i dont think that has anything to do with it
Any help would be awesome

Have recently installed a cold air intake?

With out a video or soundtrack it is hard to determine what the sound is.

Ya could be a lot of things and hard to diagnose without more info. Gear whine maybe? Wouldn't explain the wind sounds. But the first thing that comes to mind is wheel bearing. Videos help. Keep us posted.

Im thinking it might be gear related , wouldnt it whine at all times if it were a wheel bearing

BTW when i said " windlike " , i meant similar to imagining driving your jk at 80mph and hearing the wind from the outside inside the cabin. Thats what it kinda sounds like if i take my foot of the gas at any speed ( even 15-20mph) if that makes sense

Check the dust shield at rear axle pinion. Should have 1/8th" gap to axle housing. I find a few a month. Key symptom was noise on decel.
Throw out bearings will whine when depressed on accell and decell and bearing noise typically goes away when pressing clutch.
But decell noise usually is that axle dust shield.
