New sound.. Help??

Ok, so it is most noticeable when the car is cold. After I put it into first and drive away, it makes a sound that I could best describe as if you consistently shook rice around inside a plastic container, or the "Sshhh," sound you make when you're trying to get someone to be quiet, but a lot louder. The sound goes away when I press the clutch in, but occasionally comes back in higher gears. The sound usually occurs in first or second though. I'm assuming its a lubrication issue... Any ideas?? It happens a lot less after the car is warmed up.

It's an 02 wrx sedan

Have you drained the gearbox and looked for shards or particles ? Does it do it in neutral (cold start) and then go away once the clutch is pressed in ? If so, sounds like a throw-out. I guess I misunderstood at first.
