Question Grinding noise from my car

Hey guys i noticed about a week or so ago my car making a grinding noise.

When I first start to accelerate from a stop is when it happens 2-8mph area. I took it into the service manager and made him go for a ride with me and he wanted me to reproduce the noise.. And of corse it was hard to do.. the noise came up but it was very light. he dident really think it was abnormal.(It happens more when Im turning and I know its not the car boging) He did offer for me to leave my car but they were going to give me a frikin focus.. I said no.. I dident want to be driving one of thoes around.(I had one for a year! EAH). My real reason was I had just gotten a mid pipe that day and wanted to install it. :D I drove a new 8 while I was there with 122mi on the odo and no sound from it..

Im curious if anyone Else is or has had this problem and what it might be. And shouldent they give me a car similar to mine if i take mine into service?

05 6spd current odo meter is 2200mi the sound seems to be getting louder

Thanks fro your help guys

OH PS..
the clutch feels smooth.. its just a noise right now.
