some questions???
1-is the vehicle drivable?
2-can you shift the trans with no problem?
3-are you experiencing any clutch slippage?
4-with the vehicle stopped and in gear with the clutch pedal depressed of course, is the noise present?
5-with the vehicle stopped and not in gear, any noise? if you depress the clutch not in gear, any noise?
6-with the vehicle stopped and either in gear or not in gear and reving the engine, any noise?
7-when in motion and in gear, noise is present, correct? if you depress the clutch pedal in gear when in motion, is noise still present?

The more I think on it the more I'm leaning towards the possibility that when it was prepped for sale - it's a two owner car, I'm the second owner and the original owner passed away from my understanding and for all I know when his kids prepped it for sale they could have the grease changed and replaced with the wrong thing. It's just a guess and possibly wishful thinking.

But to answer your questions...
1. it is driveable
2. shifting is no problem
3. there is no clutch slippage
And, as long as the car is in gear the noise is present. Knock it out of gear and put it in neutral and the noise goes away.
