Hi everyone. Idk if I've got the right area to post this but here goes.... So just bought a 59plate 2.0 petrol and when driving home it got noisier from, what I think engine area.
It actually sounds as if it's needing to change up gears, as in when you accelerate. In the top 6 th gear.
It's revving at 3/4 too, constantly when in top 6 th gear.
Any help, gladly accepted

Welcome to this forum

Not easy to understand what you mean.

Clutch slip?

I agree with gloucester, it sounds like clutch slip going by your description. A worn clutch generally slips more at low revs in higher gears.
Try the following to see if it helps.

Careful/mindful acceleration can minimise slip... letting the engine rev more using gentle/smooth throttle input before shifting up into a higher gear, especially climbing hills.
