Default I hear a grinding sound

When the engine is spinning around 2500-3000 rpm I can hear a grinding/buzzing sound coming from the transmission. It sounds like it may be coming from the linkage or the shifter itself. The sound can be heard whether the clutch is engaged or not. I am not the most mechanically inclined so I don't want to tear apart the transmission looking for the sound but some advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The mechanic checked for any loose parts the other day when I had the CV boot replaced but that doesn't mean he couldn't have missed a loose heat shield. I'll check that out. Are there any other likely possibilities you can think of? Thanks for the reply!
