I'm assuming it sounds like a chain being dragged across a steel pipe, right?

If it is, it's probably your throwout bearing. You'd have to drop the transmission to check it out and if you're going to drop the transmission you might as well replace it since it's a $30 part.

Sounds like the pilot bearing you didnt change. Could be the noise your hearing.
