These clutches do need to be looked after, do you know when it was last serviced? Check the plates for wear. What make is the clutch?

Most noise is caused by dirty plates or you need more dished plates in the clutch pack.
Do a search, loads of threads on this subject

Brake cleaner i think has been mentioned in the past. You could do it the lazy way and give it a blast with a compresser if you have an open cover.
I take mine out turn them over and refit in a different position in the pack works well for a while.
