I know the sound... sounds like a cricket chirping?

Nothing thats going to hurt you soon. My GT did the same thing after an install of a new clutch and it held up to several... and I mean SEVERAL high rpm launches on drag radials.

kinda sounds like a belt rubbing against something, it fluctuates in sound level. all it takes is a very little pressue on the clutch pedal. i dont even have to engage it to hear the sound.

It is the throwout bearing. I had the same noise. I put bout 40k miles on it and replaced it when I had to swap the engine.
