Technical Odd "Tinkling" Noise

[Jelly Bean]

Hi there!

My 40K Mpi Seicento is making an odd intermittent noise , its kind of a "Tinkling noise" that appears to be coming from the OSF.

You generally hear it when you are driving along at around 60mph, and stops as soon as you just touch the brakes. Its not there all the time, nor is it when you are stationary and rev the engine.

I was wondering if it could be the start of an outgoing wheel bearing??

Does it stop if you accelerate? Is it there at the same engine speed in other gears?

What happens if you do 60, get the tinkling and left foot brake while maintaining the same speed?
