Could be wrong, but I think the throwout bearing would only make noise with the pedal in. My car is still making some noise with the clutch out (not that badly though). Mine's the input shaft bearing. I'm actually waiting for some other parts before I take the trans out to do that job soon. I'd guess torque tube or trans based on that behavior, but hopefully you get lucky and it's just clutch or pilot bearing.
