Strange noise

Yes the board is a fine example of where Porsche used wood to build your car. It sits under the carpet under the passengers feat. Under it is a metal frame containing the DME (ECU) and also the KLR (Knock detection) if you have a turbo. The modules could be loose on the frame or even the frame on the chassis. I doubt the plywood cover could make such noises but that too bolts onto the chassis. The metal frame should have plastic spacer fasteners at the top to secure it. Check that you have these and it isn't just rattling around.
 
I had a strange clicky, flexible metal twanging noise coming from below the passenger door. After trying a zillion things, if turned out to be a loose chrome door step plate. I stuck it back down with carpet-fitters double-sided tape... fixed!

Stranger things can happen.  It has been known for mice to live in cars before now!!!

My Dad found mice in the air vent hoses on his TVR, after laying it up for winter.

A few traps in the garage dealt with the mice, but he didn't realise that the mice had been nesting in there and storing food "¦ went out for his first drive of the spring, opened the air vents to cool down "¦ and he and my Stepmum got facefulls of manky nuts, bugs, and droppings!

As it was a TVR those mice were probably part of the original build though [:D]
 
Sounds a lot like mine. I get a sound that I described to my indie as "a moose under the car going whoooooooooo". It only happens when the car's very hot, particularly stuck in traffic. It stops when the clutch is depressed.

He immediately suggested clutch bearing. Something I'm going to be ignoring unless it gets worse, as the new clutch was one of the main selling points for my S2 and I don't want to have that expense.
 
I have a similar noise. Clutch release bearing is the usual suspect ( they all do that sir) but part of it seems to be loose stuff rattling in the front box on the exhaust. I only discovered that when underneath sealing up a blow in the joint.

So it is likely to be the clutch release bearing? could it be anything else?

Are there any tests i can perform to try and confirm?

sounds like a big job
 
I'm not familiar with S2 issues but a metallic belt sound would worry me a little, does it increase with revs would be my first question. If so, although you said the chain slipper has been changed recently I'd take the rocker cover off and double check to be safe. Perhaps someone here with more experience with your particular model can be of more help.

Good luck

Pete
