I took it to dealer ship and they said that they all do that but mine was just kind of loud.

What should I do. My car is still under warranty.
You should be able to find info by searching but it could be one of the following:

clutch release bearing
clutch unit / dual mass flywheel
gearbox

The noise and when occurs (as you described) is normal but it shouldn't be loud, like your wife would notice. If you experience any clutch judder or the gearchanges are not smooth, it's more likely to be the clutch unit / flywheel. If just the noise, one of the other two.
