Probably clutch springs. That's my guess anyway.

Turn the engine off in neutral and listen to the noise, then do the same with the clutch in its probably a lot less noise. If so its the clutch springs, mine has the same and has been for the last 10 months, just an annoying noise really 2016 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8

I've had exactly the same issue for months. Not got any worse than the day it crept into my life. I was thinking springs or could it be imput shaft bearing?

Replace clutch ASAP!

Just done mine, just in time too, 2 springs were literally ready to pop out, and they started to chew up the clutch plate which could have caused untold damage if it had of let go!
Don't ignore this noise...... Whistle 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

Other way round - clutch in, noise. Clutch out, no noise.

Clutch in = pedal up. Clutch out = pedal down. A widespread misunderstanding of clutch terminology!

Eventually the springs will fall out and it will be much more than just an annoying noise.

To most people including most car trade , if you said let the clutch out it would mean take your foot off pedal

so clutch out would mean pedal up

Like I say, it has become a very widespread (and to me rather incomprehensible) misunderstanding. You let a clutch in to take up drive, you throw a clutch out to disconnect the drive. It has always been thus, since about 1873.

Blackwolf- now that is really interesting! Probably not much use since we all seem to be dyslectic in regard to the use of the terminology. I had never thought of it the way you put it but you are quite correct!

The same is true of gears - "in gear" = drive, "out of gear" = no drive. Less confusion with that though.
