Clutch noise

This is probably a silly question, but I have no other way of finding an answer - is the clutch supposed to make a sound when the pedal is depressed? When I push the pedal, I can hear a continuous noise that sounds like rubbing. It's the same regardless of gear or neutral position, and only happens when the clutch is fully disengaged (pedal fully depressed). It seems a bit like the opposite problem to the one described in the thread "Drivetrain Rattle in Neutral" by Garry.
I had assumed that a noise in the clutch means I need to replace the throw-out bearing, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm giving myself too much credit for all this engine stuff I'm learning recently.
In a well-maintained Haflinger, should there be a noise to the clutch? And if the throw-out bearing is worn, how much damage am I causing by driving with a worn out bearing?
