During medium and hard acceleration there is a loud buzzing sound coming from the clutch. This is during acceleration when the car is in gear, not during deceleration. I am pretty sure it is the clutch making this noise. Has anyone heard of this problem before? The sound is a constant loud buzz that gets annoying.

Also, when I brake to a complete stop I can hear a single pop noise that sounds like it is coming from the front end. I have taken the car to my local dealership and they thought the brake pads were shifting. After some inspection and tightening all of the front end screws they couldn't figure out what was wrong. This happens with the clutch fully disengaged between 0 and 10 mph when coming to a complete stop.

Please ask questions if they would help diagnose the problems.

Thank you in advance.

Do you know what the clutch "decel" buzz sounds like? Does it sound like that? You could have a loose or broken clutch spring. If not, you may have an exhaust leak. These can become apparent during acceleration.
Brake pad shift isn't something that can be fixed by tightening stuff. It's just a matter of fact. You could try to replace the pads with new ones, but this is no guaranty that the shift won't continue to happen.

It is louder than the normal "decel" buzz. The same type of noise just a whole lot louder.

Brake pads shifting arn't a problem and won't cause any future problems?

I would check out the clutch disc if it's really obtrusive.
As for pad shift, if the shop said everything else about is OK, then a click of this sort is not a problem unless it affects the way the car stops.

Thank you for the help, I am going to get it checked out.
