I think some people experience a heat-related element also, in that the sound is louder in cold weather.

I've seen numerous threads about Subaru cars with the same issue. You would think they (Subaru) would get the hint by now and engineer a better part.
Mine seems to be the opposite however, It was colder today than yesterday. Yesterday it made the noise, today it did not. I did not drive the car today, just went out in the garage and let it sit running idle for about 10 minutes to see if it would replicate the sound again, and of course it doesn't.
I know cars aren't indestructible, I just hate having these types of issues when I'm not even at 50k miles. Most clutches/clutch components last up until at least 100k. At least in my other cars they have.
