Doesn't seem to happen if the clutch is disengaged or the car in neutral. I read about rear axle problems, but the sound seems to be coming from the engine bay, not the back of the car.

Could it be that the springs in the clutch disc are weak and cause the two halves of the disc's hub to bang against each other when torque is loaded and unloaded?
I've been noticing the same thing with mine. It's also coming from the front not the back and it seems to happen when I'm bringing the car to a stop. I've got the 7 speed.
