It could be the clutch throw out bearing making the noise however it still could be a belt.check the condition of the belt and tightness of the belt(s) as well as the tensioner first as this is the cheapest to do if its the problem.the reason the noise goes away while driving is because the load(torque) on the component is less than when your taking off from a stop or driving slow.

My 2015 Nissan Versa is making squeaky sound while driving

A squeaky sound coming from underneath your 2015 Nissan Versa Note, even with low mileage, can be worrisome. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact problem without a physical inspection, I can suggest some potential causes based on your description and the symptoms:
Possible reasons:
Worn suspension bushings: These rubber parts connect various suspension components and can dry out or develop cracks over time, resulting in squeaking when they move.
Loose sway bar links: These control bars aid in stabilizing your car during turns and can become loose, leading to clunking or squeaking noises.
Loose or worn-out serpentine belt: This belt drives various accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump. When it's worn or loose, it can produce a squealing sound, particularly when starting or accelerating.
Dry or worn CV axle boots: These rubber boots protect the CV joints that transfer power to the wheels. If they are dry or torn, they can cause squeaking, especially during turns.

Additional information for diagnosis:
Does the squeaking occur consistently or intermittently?
Does the sound change in pitch or intensity when turning or braking?
Is there any noticeable vibration or pulling to one side while driving?
Have you observed any other changes in the car's handling or performance?
Recommendations:
Schedule a service appointment with a qualified mechanic: They can examine the suspension, brakes, and other potential sources of the noise and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Do not disregard the noise: Ignoring it could lead to more serious issues and costly repairs later on.
Gather any additional information you can: If the noise seems to occur under specific conditions, make a note of them to assist the mechanic in their diagnosis.
While your low mileage may suggest that the issue isn't significant, it's always best to have it checked by a professional. Early detection and repair can save you time, money, and potential safety risks in the future.

I heard a a squeaky sound before pressing the clutch fully and heard a pop sound in the end of the clutch then a tiny metal piece came out on my 1987 nissan pulsar

pull the master cylinder and repair or replace. It may be a bit of clutch return spring or circlip from the rear of the master cylinder but squeaks indicate that the piston rubbers are going and the unit needs attention.

What causes a squeaky sound from the engine of an 2000 Isuzu rodeo when engine is running?

it could be one of the belts. if you put a little wax or brake fluid on the belt in a couple of places and the squeak goes away then you either have a loose belt/s or the belts/s need replacing. if no change it could be the timing belt making the noise.

Squeaky clutch pedal

This is a common problem. Your clutch pedal has a return spring on it, each end of which can squeak when dry.
Look under the dash, and locate this. Dab a bit of grease at each end of the spring where it hooks around. Work the pedal up and down a few times and the squeak should go the way of the Honda Element.
