Ive noticed recently that my engine is sounding a little bit noisier on tick-over, its a MY01 with 25k on the clock.
I brought the car 4 months ago with 23k on it from a main dealer, at this point the engine was really quiet.
ive noticed today that when the car is ticking over, if i press the clutcth pedal down it sounds noticeably quieter.
ive been told(by a friend) that it is my thrust or release bearing thats buggered.
Is it a problem or do they all do it?
Do i need to get it sorted?
Will it be covered under warranty?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
P.S ive checked all the oil/fluid levels(as i do regularly) and their o.k.

The clutch release bearing should not be engaged when the pedal is up.
When they are shagged they usually make most noise when the pedal is down & they are under load.

My classic makes a noise with the pedal out! Press it in and it goes away. In my old Escort days, it was the thrust bearing! **** easy on an Escort, doubt I'd have a go on a Scoob I'll put up with the noise or turn the radio up!
