Dammit.. I do press the clutch in to minimize the noise but I still want to get rid of it.
BTW, is this associated with the rattling I have when decelerating while in gear in between lets say, 2200-1500rpm?

You should just succeed to it being part of your C5 and concentrate on making your car better in other ways. I have investigated this issue WAY BACK in 1999 and here is what makes the noise.
The C5 drive train is connected together using "SPLINED JOINTS" rather than "U" joints. The Clutch disk rides on a spline joint. All those spline joints add up in tolerance and as the engine coast down under compression/vacuum,, the spline joints oscillate through their tolerance range and causes that noise you hear.
