please update date us on your finds, thxs.

I have the same click, and it happens even if the car is off. Unless the cruise control cutoff is mechanically connected to the clutch pedal linkage, I doubt it's that, but I suppose it's possible.

UPDATE: So I finally took the car in to the dealer for the squeaking clutch pedal problem. The tech tried to lube it with a ton of WD 40. That didn't work so they ordered a new clutch pedal and replaced mine under warranty a couple of days ago. The new pedal is much quieter and is not making any sounds.

Just a technical note, WD-40 is a cleaner, not a lubricant, it displaces whatever is there so don't use it long term as a lubricant.
Just saying
