Default Faint whistle/metal grind type sound

I was driving around the other day with my windows down and noticed a faint whistle/grind type noise when my clutch is released. As soon as I step on the clutch it disapears. I can sit in neutral with my clutch out and hear it and then press the clutch down and the sound disapears. Anyone know what this is. By the way I have 1,600 miles on it.

I really appreciate your alls help. This website just gets better and better. Should this cost me anything at the dealer?
