Default Squeal when clutch is not engaged

There is a slight squeal when my clutch is not engaged, but when i depress the clutch it will go away, i can't seem to pinpoint where the squeal is coming from but wondering if anybody knows what this could be. btw the clutch isn't slipping or anything it feels normal

TOB is the culprit. Use a Ford Racing part to replace the offending part.

The throwout bearing is indeed the culprit.
When you do replace your clutch down the line get
a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch I'm very happy with mine.

When the pedal is up, the clutch is engaged.

Does the noise go away with some slight pressure on the pedal? The cable may be too loose.
