My CE made the same noise and it had the original clutch/dual mass flywheel in it. My current (dual mass when I got it and single mass now) doesn't make the noise. The single mass noise is more of a grumbling. Some describe it as rocks in a can, but I went with a heavy single mass to try to dampen it.

I think the noise you've got is the throw out bearing starting to go south. When you press the clutch pedal, you're putting pressure on the bear and the noise goes away. I used to only hear it in neutral with my foot off the clutch. That said, I drove it for a year and over 10k miles like that and it never got worse.
