Weird rattle at idle

What could be the issue? When my car is cold there is a loud rattle, but it goes away when the clutch is pressed down, if you bring the clutch up it comes back. This happens only when the car is cold. Fiesta 2015 Ecoboost, so I think these don't even have dual mass flywheel.

    Possible failure of the clutch release bearing.

    If you apply just a slight pressure on the clutch pedal does the noise change or go away ?

    Have to test this tomorrow, since noise won't probably appear today as I've already driven the car today. It needs to be stationary for at least 10hrs for the noise to appear. If this is the case, is it expensive to fix?

    It might just be a bearing rattle and cost nothing at all if you can live with it. If your clutch works fine and your gears shift fine then leave well alone.

    All the gears work fine, sometimes trouble with reverse gear but I think that is common in all these fiestas. Clutch works fine too, no slipping or anything.
