What is this noise?

I figured I would ask here in R&C since we tend to really push our cars the limits and really break things. If it's been broken, R&C will have experienced it before anyone else is my guess.
Feel free to reply here or in the other linked thread.
Thanks in advance.

Below is a video I took.
I only hear this noise once the car/transmission is full warmed up, and I've been driving it for 10+ minutes or so.
I only hear it at low speeds < 30mph.
I only hear it when i'm off throttle - whether in gear, clutch-in, or neutral.
Car has 95k miles - 2006 AP2.
Transmission and differential fluid were replaced at 90050 miles on 1/4/2015.
Fluids are replaced regularly every 10k miles or 3 track days, which ever comes first.
Motor and transmission mounts were replaced with Megan racing at 92,500 miles.
Wheel bearings and hubs were replaced at 79890 miles with all OEM components. They only have 2-3 track days on them. The TSB was also address, and the axle nuts were torqued beyond the 220 ft. lbs. originally stated in the shop manual.
I'm still on the original clutch. I've never dropped the clutch or launched the car - never chirped or spun the tires from a stand still. Although I do have around 35-40+ track days on the car.
Nothing "feels" wrong, but it sure sounds wrong.
