There should be no noise when you let the clutch pedal up because 
there should be nothing happening (everything rotating together) in 
the clutch under these conditions. If there is a noise it is probably 
due to the throwout bearing still being in contact with the pressure 
place; it should not be.

Do you have any free play in the clutch pedal? You should have about 
3/4". This can be hard to adjust if the return spring at the 
transmission is broken. By now ALL of these are broken so that is a 
good place to start; replace it.
