My car started ?chirping? the other day when it sits in neutral (I have a 5 speed) and goes away when I slightly push in the clutch. When I release the clutch the noise returns.

I recorded the sound when I got home and I've linked it below. From what I've researched it could be a bad release spring?? but could that have caused my 4th to pop and get sort of stuck?

Has anyone heard this sound before? I have an 08.5 with 20K on it. I drive like a granny as well.

*I start recording from the drivers side front and later walk to the passenger side. Not as loud on the passenger's.

That was my guess. Mazda will cover that, it isnt normal wear and tear.
