    It sounds way louder than it is cause I put my phone right up to the bottom of the engine. It's actually pretty quiet and only happens when I first start the engine cold and makes the noise for about two minutes till it' warm

    Too vague, doesn't sound like the typical idler issue that 2nd gens have, I would suggest buying a cheap stethoscope from a tool store and isolating the noise.

    My first instinct is it sounds like a throw-out bearing but it may not even be a manual.

    Mine makes the exact same noise, till it warms up also. The dealer said I would need to leave it overnight so they could start it on a cool morning. Havent wanted to go through the hassle yet
