Yours sounds like a spigot! Thats what mine is doing at the moment, its on stock clutch though.
Will soon be gone, as I am replacing it with a 5 PUK Brass button.
If your foot is off the clutch and your car is idle in neutral and you hear a noise, whining noise thats your spigot bearing.
If your foots on the clutch, in/out of gear and your hearing a whining noise thats your thrust/release bearing.
