All, I noticed something that is contrary to yesterday's email about the issue. It seems that if I push in the clutch pedal, the noise completely cuts out. This is noticeable at normal speed (35-40mph) and parking lot speeds. In addition, it seems to be most prevalent between 2-2500RPM, with little to no noise below or above this region. It's also not as loud as it was a couple of days ago.

For those that don't know, it's a beat-up '99 Civic DX with about 174k on the clock. I had the timing belt and a motor mount replaced over the summer and have driven it maybe once a month on average since then. When I was going to take it in to the job, the car had been making a high pitched sound at idle and when the car was moving that would come and go from time to time. The noise seemed to be coming from the area of either the water pump or timing belt area. Strangely enough, the noise completely died on the way to the shop and didn't come back...until now. Now it's louder than ever and really has me worried considering that the Miata won't get driven much (of course, the Miata is most likely either in need of a clutch master or slave soon...). Any guesses what the noise could be? -Bryan Does it make the sound only when the engine or the ambient temps are colder? Does it do it only when it's raining? When, specifically (If Possible), and under what conditions do you experience the sound? Is the sound more of a shriek or does it include and whirring or rubbing?
