Default Clutch noise??

This one is hard for me to describe but I'll try and see if anyone can offer some advice.

I have a 2015 Z06 M7 Convertible.

Occasionally when I start off in first gear and have to start easy because of someone in front of me or maybe on a hill, when I let the clutch out, I hear a low pitched screech type noise. It is only when letting the clutch out. The clutch does not slip, the car launches fine and drives fine.

Any ideas on the cause? I am assuming it is the clutch itself but I have had standards my whole life, have changed many clutches but never heard a noise like this.

I out this on the Z06 forum but thought there might be more traffic here. Looking for ideas on what to look into.


Thoughts?

Had a similar problem, it was the pilot bearing.
