There should be no “noise” coming from a new clutch job.

On a high mileage clutch, since dropping a tranny is one my most disliked jobs, I replace:

Clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, bearing retainer clips, pilot bearing, tranny input shaft seal and housing gasket, and rear main seal.  Unless the flywheel has visible cracks or ridges, I just block sand it with 320 & 400 grit emery cloth.  The good thing about having it machined and resurfaced is that will correct any possible heat warping.   A new flywheel is not that expensive.  If I were to give the flywheel to a good machine shop for resurfacing, I’d have them check and balance the flywheel and pressure plate.

I assume you replaced the pilot bearing and throw-out bearing? 

Did you very lightly coat the input shaft seal housing with a grease where the throw-out bearing rides?  And, where the clutch disc rides on the end of the input shaft splines?

Usually a “noise” from the tranny will be the throw-out bearing squealing, but can be pilot bearing.  The noise can be from a worn input shaft bearing.

The noise may not be from the clutch area. Could be U-joints, transmission, t-case, rear differential, motor mounts, front drive shafts, or rear springs.

Here’s simple description of noises…. for a worn cluch, but may give you some insight into the sounds your are hearing.
