Chirping noise when clutch pedal is pressed

My 96 FD has a chirping noise when my clutch pedal is pressed. It only happens when the car is warmed up. Its like chirp, chirp ... chirp, chirp ... over and over. It also does it while I am driving around without pressing the clutch pedal. The sound speeds up and gets more audible based on engine speed. Lower RPM slower noise, higher RPM faster more audible noise. I haven't found a thread on here that describes my problem. Does anyone have any clue what it could be?

It's only when you have the pedal depressed? Post a video. An issue like this can only be but so many things especially since it's rpm dependent. Right away, odds are the transmission is going to have to come out to fix the issue. Post a video though, we can get a better assessment if we can hear the sound for ourselves

Most probably clutch release (aka slave) cylinder is bad and needs to be replaced.

Do you feel any vibrations when you depress the clutch? Could very well be the TOB needing to be replaced.

I don't feel any vibrations when I press the clutch pedal. It's weird cause it only happens when it is up to temperature and it happens while driving without pressing the clutch pedal and it gets more noticeable with higher RPM. I will post a video soon, I've been busy lately with work.
