When in neutral and stationary, there is very little difference in noise when the clutch is in or out. Perhaps a hair more noise when the pedal is down but very little in the way of chatter etc. The noise only occurs when under load, not when the car is revved when in neutral.
Does your 95 not have an M90 gearbox like my petrol 95? In which case it would have a dual mass flywheel. DMFs are more common in diesels.

In the M90 reverse is to the right and towards the driver. M46/47 is the opposite.
