if it's coming from underneath the car it's definitely the throwout bearing.

this.

If it goes away when you push in the clutch, most likely your throwout bearing.

+1 on the throwout bearing, had the same problem when i replaced my clutch myself i used the wrong kind of grease to lube it up, be sure to use white lithium grease and not red wheel bearing grease. so either fix it or turn your radio up
