Default Clutch Noise

Purchased a silver/ascot GT last pm, and noticed an inordinate amount of clutch noise. Ive heard on all the manual cars ive owned, but this seems particulrly loud. Makes the corvette sound like a whisper in comparison. The noise Im talking about occurs at low revs in gear, but resolves on depressing the clutch.
Is this typical/normal?

I've not taken delivery of mine yet, but I've spent a few hours driving friends' cars and if you are referring to the "chattering" from the clutch / gearbox, then that sounds perfectly normally.

When I switched from a dual mass flywheel on my GT3 to a single mass flywheel, I had the same noise. I think it is typical of single mass flywheel systems.

Kind regards

Steve

lots of clutch noise at idle is normal.
