This sounds like a torque reaction problem, rather than something which requires throwing money at it! Is the noise louder when accelerating and lifting off in first gear, or fifth gear? Get under the car and look at the gearbox mountings, and also the engine mountings. Try to rock the engine from side to side, and watch for engine movement while someone revs the engine, or partially engages the clutch against the brakes.
