Default clutch noise when idling in neutral

I heard a noise, (similar like if you would hear the AC fan running from the inside of the car). But when I pressed the clutch in, the noise stops. When I depressed the clutch, I heard it again. Is this normal?. it's a 2003 with 30K manual, previously owned by a 55 years old guy.
I'm freakingg out over this...if the clutch is gone and with no warranty should i take it to the dealer or to a cheaper place.

Mine does it too. Going to ask the tech when I take my car in but I don't expect much.

hearing " noise ", noone really can tell you 100% answer from internet. But Z has pretty noisy tranny, but if it keep bothers you, you should take it to local dealer and see what they says. ( But don't buy anything from them.)
