Put it up on a lift to get a good look see. If you still see nothing I suggest you look between the tunnel plate and the underside of the car. Something may have gotten loose or caught there.

Just a wild guess, but maybe Torque tube bushings?

clutch? why would a clutch make that noise especially a stock one?
i can possibly believe a throw out bearing but do stock ones make noise like that ?
ive never heard a clutch make that kind of noise/different noises

If you only hear it when the clutch is pushed in, that would narrow it down quite a bit. It has something to do with the clutch. The throwout bearing would the main culprit. I heard the noise on one of the videos. I think I would start there.
