Default Chirping while driving, stops when I push in the clutch?

All,

Back again, I hope everyone has been well. Here is my latest issue, hope someone has advice. Something just didn't feel right for a week or two (vibration or something). The past few days I started to hear a little bit of chirping while driving. When I push the clutch in, it stops. Any advice would be appreciated. I have 282,000 miles on her, changed the clutch and through out bearing about 7 years ago...

Thank you in advance!

My first guess would be the throwout bearing; I'd do clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing before I worried very much.

Does it also chirp in gear with the clutch depressed while moving? If not, it's most likely not the transmission itself, since all the gears are still driven (just from the back!) while rolling in gear.
