If you're talking about that high pitch sounds, its the crickets. If you're talking about that starts at the beginning of the video (not the crickets) that's just normal boxer engine sounds. I have no idea how to describe that sound though.

Is that what you hear?

Does not sound like a bearing knock to me, though.

I hear that thud thud thud thud thud as well underneath the crickets, it could just be the DI sound or other sounds, I can't pinpoint it

Definitely not DI because it's frequency is at least half of the engine RPM. DI pump is driven at 1.5x engine RPM.

I think @stevesnj might be on to something. Next time OP hears the sound, he should disengage the clutch to see if it goes away. Might be the transmission. Even so, doesn't necessarily mean anything's wrong.

I found that my car does stop making the thudding when I depress the clutch.

If it's repeatable and it annoys you, maybe take it to the dealership and have a tech listen.

All manual transmissions rattle to some degree when idling in neutral. That's just the nature of the beast and this car does not hide any noises. You have to decide if it's just rattle or if it's a cyclic thump-thump-thump sound.

If you do have it checked, please let us know what you are told. Do you live in Portland? We're having an impromptu little meet tomorrow.
