Open throttle

2003 R50 5spd, 65k

while in 1st and 2nd gear with open throttle (accelerating or coasting) , there is a kind of throaty rubbing sound I hear coming from the bay, it could be a catalytic / exhaust thing but I fear it may be transmission - I havent had any gears pop out or terrible grinding or anything like that. Ill aim to add a video with sound. Wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone?
