Default Any ideas on this clutch issue?

Clutch works fine.

Only after driving a ways and "warming up" do I get this noise. I can feel the noise in the pedal also, if that makes any sense.

the recording is car totally off Any ideas?

Mine makes the same noise when warmed up.
It's the clutch fork that needs replacing. The part is cheap but you have to drop the transmission to change it. My mechanic said to hold off until I change the clutch so I only have to pay for the labor once.
If you find out it's something different then let me know but my mechanic lifted the car and used a sound device to locate the exact location of the squeeking.

I had a similar noise, dealer replaced the slave which was covered by an aftermarket warranty at the time.

I was going to say throw-out bearing before I watched the video.
It sounds like it's haunted. ....Could it really be a slave cylinder???

The noise can come from several things.

Impossible to do anything but guess. Take the car to a shop and let the tech listen and he'll pinpoint the noise source.

If outside it would be with the clutch pedal linkage.

If inside it could be the clutch release lever or possibly the needle bearings of the clutch control shaft, the shaft the clutch release lever pivots around. When I had the RMS done recently and the transmission was out of the car the clutch hardware was inspected and found to be like new. In fact the clutch friction disc showed no measurable wear.

In spite of the clutch's condition the tech replaced the needle bearings of the clutch control shaft. This is the pivot shaft the release lever works with.

That the tech replaced these bearings given the rest of the clutch's condition suggests to me this is a weak point of the clutch.

If inside the housing you'll have to make the decision -- supported by what your tech tells you -- whether you can lgnore this or deal with it.
