First of all the car is designed NOT to start without the clutch pressed in because some people forget they are in gear, turn the key, and WHAMO, right into whatever was in front of them.

The noise you are speaking of is most likely the throwout bearing. In the following picture you will see a round thing fit over the input shaft and resting against the clutch fork. That is the TO bearing and it will wear out over time. Change it when you change the clutch.
