Meh, I've seen worse from other users...

I recall these cars have a considerable amount of clutch chatter when you upgrade the flywheel. I'm a 7AT driver, but my friend parked his mustang this year. I drove it a few times, and the clutch would always make a very slight squeaking noise when you just start to depress the pedal. That was his throwout bearing on its way out.

I'd recommend posting a video if you think it's worth it, noise can mean anything from a squeak to a rattle to a banging noise.

OP, your total lack of punctuation makes my head hurt when reading your post.

As for deleting your post because it's actually the clutch making the noise, I'm going to leave it because it will help others who might be thinking the same thing you did when you made your post. I will change the thread title to reflect the new info, though.

Its not the clutch making noise it is the transmission making noise as you went to a Solid flywheel instead of the factory dual mass flywheel, When you do this it causes the gears to
"chatter" in the transmission at idle if you let your foot off the clutch. It is normal with a solid flywheel unless you get a clutch with a "quiet" type option like Southbend or ZSpeed offers with their kits.
However the noise does not pose any issues with the trans and does not hurt anything.

Does it cause chatter? Or is the chatter always there just amplified but the single mass flywheel?

Your first language has punctuation. English differs little.

It's your throw out bearing its worn that's why noise goes away when you press the clutch

This is bad info. The throw out bearing will make "more" noise when you push the clutch in as there is more pressure on it then.

It is always there but is dampened by the factory dual mass flywheel. When you take the factory flywheel out there is nothing to dampen the engine firing pulses into the trans gear set.
You can get this noise even with the OEM flywheel if the flywheel dual mass section is worn out which happens quite often.
