Default squeaking/rubbing/wierd noise

Ok, im not sure if i'll be able to describe this well enough, but for some reason when at low speeds (atleast thats the only time i can actually hear it) my car makes this high pitch squeak. Its not a belt squeal, but sounds more like metal on metal rubbing as something turns. Now, of course everyones first thought would be the brakes, but they are still fairly new (less than a year). it is coming from the front of the car. It is the worst when the clutch first engages and when i shift. but it also makes a bit of the noise when i go over a bump at low speed. At first i just thought it was typical noisy excedy clutch, but now it is just getting annoying.

I know thats a hard description to follow. And maybe I just need to take it somewhere, but I refuse to go to my local honda dealerships, and there arent really any good shops around here. If need be, i'll deal with it for a week till I can take a full weekend and go down and see Tom at honda and acura, but I was wondering if anyone knew what this could be.

edit: btw, i just did a swap and it didnt make the noise before hand. It has a new clutch and flywheel in it.

Does it sound like it's from either side, or the middle?

Perhaps the clutch throw-out bearing isn't greased up enough?

well, of course i only hear it from the driver side... guess i should have someone listen to see if they hear it from the passenger, but could be from the center. i thought i greased the crap out of everything around the throw out bearing, and the throw out bearing itself. Hrrrm....maybe should have done more.
