Default TO bearing noise normal?

last night, i parked next to my other car with the window down and i noticed a slight rattling sound in the neutral with the clutch let out. when i pushed the pedal it stopped. it was really hard to hear over the exhaust, but i noticed it. i'm thinking if the TO bearing is goin bad, that could be the cause of the noise i've posted about like 30 times. lol. any ideas?

I find it to be normal. Had a spec 3 in the car when I bought it and it made the same noise and would go away when I put the pedal in. Switched over to an LS7 with a new TO and low and behold 1k miles later it did the same thing. Wouldnt tear my hair out over it if I were you.

I've had two new TO bearings do the same thing within a week of being on, So I would say its normal. Plus the guy who did my clutch said they all do that, its just normal.
