Ever hear this noise?

When the car is idling in nutral, with the clutch all the way out you can hear a squeaking like a hamster going around the hamster wheel...then when you push the clutch pedal down (1/2in or all the way to the floor) the noise stops.

Any ideas?

I might be able to do an audio clip guys...I kno I need a new clutch sometime and probably pressure plate/throw out as well....I guess my concern is that is should be one of those three...not like something in the tranny itself or whatnot

Chances are VERY good that it's your throwout bearing. You need to replace it soon if the noise is getting bad. It could possibly seize (worst case) and eat your pressure plate/clutch disc/flywheel. VERY easy to replace once you have the tranny out. You may as well replace the clutch and pressure plate and have the flywheel turned at the same time.
