Need help with my 8

Hey guys,

I have a question here about the clutch. I just replaced my old clutch with a brand new one at the mazda dealership. What i notice is that whenever i start up my car, there is a whining/squeaking noise from somewhere under the car. the noise disappear completely when i press down the clutch. Here is a video about how the noise sounds like. Please help. is it normal ? i asked few friends some of them said it might be the bearing and others said it's normal. when the car is warmed up the noise is a lot less noticeable. I post two links to video in youtube to show how the noise sounds like.

Thank you for replying me fast. So the whining noise when the clutch is not depressed is normal? why is it making that sound? and why is the noise disappear when the clutch is depressed?
