Default Chipping/chattering noise

Hello,

I have a manual transmission and I have noticed that when I am in a gear, any gear, and no throttle then I get a chattering/chipping noise. It is not very strong noise but clearly enough for me to hear it.

If I give it some gas or put the gear in neutral the noise goes away.

Could this be a sign that my clutch or transmission is about to go or do I just need to replace my transmission or diff fluid?

Thanks

I'd like to know also. Is it like a "tinkering" sound? Because that's what I hear.

Somewhat. I only hear it when I let off the gas--even when the clutch is depressed. This leads me to believe that it's normal, hopefully...
