That will be a bearing gone inside the gearbox.

Ok its getting a bit worse first gear the same but the clutch seems low biting point and not have same noise low revs in others gears still gearbox or clutch ? What are the symptoms of a dual mass flywheel and clutch going ?

Could be the flywheel or maybe a cv joint.

Hmmm... I'd say throw out bearing which means a new clutch assembly.

You'll have to get a car mechanic to have a listen to the noise to be sure. But the fact it's only in first gear narrows it down somewhat.
