I was referring to that in-between condition where the stationary clutch fork contacts the throwout bearing, but clutch is still engaged and rotating. If the throwout bearing itself doesn't spin smoothly, it will make noise.
But you're right, this one sounds like it's gone too far and OP probably shouldn't be driving it.
