Unless the forces of the clutch are causing it...
Yep, you're right!

After I turned my crystal ball "right side up" it said this:

"When the clutch is disengaged, the transmission’s input shaft and the engine’s crankshaft are rotating at different speeds. The pilot bearing allows for this difference. This is why a faulty pilot bearing makes its most noise when the clutch pedal is completely depressed and the clutch itself is completely disengaged. It’s located in the center of the crankshaft flange or flywheel."

OK, back to you @Ultramaroon.
