I have a 1998 Mazda Protege LX with about 130k miles. I took it on the freeway today and I noticed a whooshing/clicking noise coming from below my gear shifter. The noises begin at almost exactly 72 mph. The faster you go the more constant it becomes. Along with the whooshing there is an almost whistle coming from behind the driver. Just from some more information, the clutch was replaced less than a year ago and it has not been driven much for about 6-7 months. The noise isn't really loud and it doesn't sound destructive but I would like to know what it is.

I realize this is a pretty specific situation but any help our just a possible idea would be appreciated

Thank you.
 
If it sounds like it is comming from behind the driver then I would be checking the wheel berings first and then other stuff.
