It's the former but it's not very loud.  It happens while the car is rolling
forward in gear when you press the clutch partway down, as I said, before and
during the initial resistance of the pedal.  There's a rather distracting
"chirp...chirp" with each gearchange.  It happens only after the car has
warmed up.
