If it's got an aluminum cam gear, they're a little more noisy than the fiber gear. The metal gear lasts a little longer, however. If you're not sure about the source of the noise, drop the fan belt off for a short time, and see if the belt-driven accessories are contributing to the whine. Also have someone push the clutch pedal down and see if the noise changes. The throwout bearing, and the transmission cluster gear bearings can also make some strange noises.
