When driving anywhere between 40/60 mph and I release the accelerator I'm getting, what I can only describe as a ringing bell noise, but disappears as soon as I accelerate again.

Any ideas?

Doesn't effect performance

Have a look under the car and tap everything and see what vibrates, or makes a noise. Same for in the engine bay, this will help you locate the noise.

Or just a visual check of connections, cables ect.
