In the Miata, that's probably gear lash, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's faint when the car has full interior, but take the carpet out and it gets loud. Put a lightweight flywheel in it and it'll be almost unbearable. I replaced two transmissions, throwout and pilot bearings, and tried different tranny fluids before finding an article about the real cause of the noise. In the end I had to put a loud as hell exhaust on my previous Miata so I couldn't hear the damn tranny clattering.
mines pretty loud, even with the full interior. the only time its "faint" (depends on your definition of faint i guess lol) is with the top down.
