I help diagnosing this sound. Cold start with clutch disengaged, video inside.
2006 wrx, 106K miles (issue was present before 105K maintenance).
vf39 w/ supporting mods and protune
Stock clutch
Swepco 201 in the transmission, changed around 20k miles ago.
I only get the sound with the clutch disengaged (pressed in) while giving the engine a little gas. As it revs up/down, you can hear the sound. The sound only occurs for the first 5-10 minutes after a cold start.
Here is the video
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry didn't see all the replies here. Definitely not rod knock. The sound is only present with clutch disengaged. I can rev it slightly after a cold start (like in the video) and the sound will not be there. Normal driving in gear does not produce this sound either except between shifts while disengaging clutch and the rpms are falling.
Doesn't seem to be a throwout bearing issue based on the demonstrations I've watched on youtube. I showed the video to my tuner and he didn't know what it was but assured me it wasn't a problem with the clutch.
Clutch is original, 107k miles. No slipping and does not feel abnormal.
