Default New Clutch Still "Buzzing"

I have a 2000 S2000 and I was experiencing the buzzing sound while decelerating from about 4000-3000 rpms. I was told that Honda new about it and even found the bulletin for myself. I was told that the newer clutch design does not "buzz" anymore but I just today had a new clutch installed and I am already hearing the same noise.

My only ideas are that the place I got the clutch job done at might still have a source that uses the "older" design. Is that possible? My only other idea is that the noise is going to go away after break-in (I don't think it's likely).

What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

It's entirely possibly they had an "older" type of disc in their parts bin. However, even with the new disc, some people have commented that the buzz is still there.
It's not likely it will get better.
You do realize that it's just a noise. It may be annoying but it has no affect on the way the clutch operates.

Thanks for your input.

I do realize it's just a noise however, I'm sacrificing a lot to have this vehicle finacially so I would prefer it not make this noise if it could have been prevented.

You can always go back to the dealer (if it was at a dealer) you had it done and complain. Have the TSB printed off and in your hand.
