Default Weird sound, don't know where its coming from

What's up everybody so i recently replaced my clutch about 4 months ago and ever since then i've been hearing a weird noise in idle and i'm not really sure where its coming from, some say its an exhaust leak, others say its the flywheel. The sound happens every now and then, especially when the air conditioning is turned on. Its really starting to bug me and want to fix it already. Ive attached a video so you guys could see what i'm talking about. Hope you guys can hear it in the video cuz my phone doesnt do much justice lol

Did you replace the clutch or did you take it to a professional? What's the year and mileage of your car? Any aftermarket parts we should be aware of?

I had it replaced by a mechanic and all parts are original . My car is an 04, and it just hit 117,xxx miles.

Did they warranty the work and did you notice the sound right after they did it? If the sound started 2-6 weeks after the work was done, it could be your throw-out bearing since that can make a ticking sound at neutral, which is normal. If it's REALLY loud, and you're within your warranty timeframe, I'd take it back to the shop that did the work and ask them to check if the part's already gone bad.

Interesting , i didn't notice the noise until maybe 3 weeks after, and at times it gets really loud but for the most part it's not that loud ; but it drives me crazy ☹ the sound is more like a knocking to me... I did have warranty but I think I'm out the time range 😶 However he is a family friend so I'm more than sure he will take a look at it free of charge.
