I have heard the exact same noise on a 93 9000CS. Faint at 85K, now very noticable at 111K. Loudest at 65-75 mph cruising speed. It is a bearing wear causing a gear noise in the manual transmission. Very similar to the noise common in a Saab V4 trans. Options: Purchase rebuild at $1400 plus installation, purchase low miles good transmission at $1000, or change transmission oil, cross fingers and turn up the radio.
I have also heard it on a late 80s 9000 model but overall I am told by those that know it is a fairly rare defect for that car. You can drive for a while without additional deterioration perhaps but why put up with such a noise on an otherwise quiet car?
