Typical Noise for a 02SE?

I've driven a 95 SE for 10 years and just recently upgraded to a 02SE (41K miles). 2 things struck me as odd that maybe could be explained by someone. They are:

1) Whenever I push in the clutch and/or throttle, I notice a slight "clicking" noise when it comes to a certain point. Any time I go back or forth over that point of travel, I hear the click. Is this a throttle-by-wire behavior?

2) Whenever I start the car and start moving, the power steering makes a noise, as if it's charging up to go under "full pressure". Kind of a low-hissing noise. However once it happens at startup, I never hear it again. Any ideas? Power steering boost at low speeds?

Overall it's a heck of an upgrade to go from a 95 to an 02, especially in terms of power/torque.

I have the same clicking noise when I depress the clutch and activate a gear, just about when it is activing I can hear a slight click.
