I was browsing around on CorvetteForum last night, and found a thread from a guy apparently having some clutch noise problems. He took some short videos with an audio track which makes the noise pretty evident if you cut back the bass on your speakers.

Then I went back and found a video I did a while back showing the noise I have been having in my drivetrain.

Sounds similar to me, except mine is much louder, likely because I have a remote microphone right up near the bell housing, and the other videos have the audio feed from within the passenger cabin.

I've reached out to the guy who made the thread on CorvetteForum to see what, if any, resolution was made concerning that noise. I also contacted a representative of Monster Clutches to see what they might think of the noise I am having.

It just might well be that the Centerforce clutch in my car has been the problem all along. I read that they are known for being noisy, at least as noted by some people. So that is the way I am leaning.

I am sending out feelers now to see who I can have work on the car. I would really like to get this resolved so I can drive the car without feeling like that noise is finally going to develop into something breaking, leaving drivetrain parts laying all in the road behind me.
