Whirl sound while clutch depressed

[WolfDampf]

Only hear this sound while clutch is depressed whether hot or cold happens all the time. Is this normal or concerning?

Sounds like either a release or pilot bearing giving up the ghost. Does it have a lot of miles on it?

98k miles I'm hoping it's not that but so far everything drives alright

With that many miles it's not totally surprising that clutch parts might be wearing. You can go a long time with mild noise before you have to do anything. It's something you're going to replace anyway when you do a clutch replacement.
