The clutch bracket squeak doesn't depend on speed or RPM, it just squeaks when you push it in, and squeaks when you let it out, regardless of anything else going on.

I'd say this might be connected to your throwout bearing, but I don't know enough about it to be sure.

thats most likely your throw-out bearing from your clutch... its nothing to worry about mine has been doing it for most of its life and i have no problems. its just something you have to deal with unless you want to just replace the clutch

i took my car in for this when i first got it and they told me it was just the gears turning over, if your only experiencing it at idle. im not sure though but if it was the throw out bearing it'd make that noise when you push the clutch in, not when you let it out right? idk for sure but mines done that the entire time ive had it and it hasnt caused a problem.

I have the same probelm. My 2005 RX-8 GT squeaks whenever the clutch is out, driving or idling (stays the same regardless of speed). As soon as the clutch is depressed the squeaking stops immediately. It's so annoying, has anyone fixed this?
