Does the sound continues when you are running your car in neutral or is it only there when your car is running in gear and you leave the accelerator?

Even i am having the same problem with my Ford Figo diesel version..

I consulted a mechanic for this issue and he suggested me to check the belt, or it can be bearing sound too..

I'll be taking my car to the Ford Workshop on coming Monday, will update with the issue after that.

Most probably the noise is from belts. Such noise could come from worn-out/ loose belt. To some extent, the noise can be stopped by applying belt dressing spray. But best thing will be to get it checked.

you can check the bearings by appling some multipurpose spray oil to them, between the pulleys and the axes, you can spray a little the band too, but very very little, if the band is properly tight if should not skid

I doubt the sound is from your clutch release bearing as it is audible only when you are applying clutch.
