Default noise from gearbox in neutral

I have A3 2.0T quatro 6 gears manual tranny 2007 10K kilometers. There is a "grrr..." noise from the gear when in neutral which disapears when pushing the clutch. Is it normal? What should be done?

sounds like the thrust bearing is bad so if you have a warranty get the clutch and all its parts changed, clutch plate/pressure plate and thrust bearing which should be done and not just the bearing that's bad practice because you get problems later doing it that way

the noise is a vibration from the thrust bearing which pushes the pressure plate in and that's why the noise stops when its pressed in

edit: im not saying the clutch has a problem but for the thrust bearing to go within 10k would suggest there is a problem waiting to happen and personally if it were me I would expect the lot to be changed under the warranty
