Default Clutch squeaking

Just noticed this weekend on my 08 that when the clutch is disengaging in gear there is a faint squeaking noise that I am hearing (It's not the pedal). I hear the noise on the outside. I think it might be the pressure plate releasing pressure on to the flywheel.

Anybody heard or experienced this before?

Thanks.

throwout bearings are the most common thing to give you noises especially on hydraulic clutches where there are no cables just fluid exchange. The main nboises you hear with them is a squeaking kinda thing when the clutch is disengaged (pedal down) noises are kinda funny so its hard to relay what you are experiencing? I would always drive the cars to check for noises. a test drive with a trusted/decent tech will get you some answers

Ok did some research. Like you described, the throwout bearing noise should be when the clutch pedal is in but I'm experiencing a noise right when it's engaging.
