It's not the Throw out bearing that is the cause of the noise but rather the pressure plate. Think about it for a second and think why would the throw out bearing make noise if it's not engaged. What I think is happening is that one of the "fingers" on the pressure plate has gotten out of whack slightly and is rubbing on the TO bearing. When you press down on the clutch pedal everything is all aligned again and no noise. In any case, the engine MUST be removed and it would be cheap insurance to replace both the pressure plate and TO bearing.
