Loud creak sound on takeoff. 1999 V70 Topic is solved

Hi, can you help me diagnose, what makes this really loud creak when starting to drive?

Because it's not rotational-sounding, I'd look at things that don't rotate: suspension bushings, engine mounts.

Does the angle of steering -- going the same low speed 0-3mph acceleration test -- change the sound? Does it seem like it's coming from up high or down low?

Are those 240 Turbo wheels?

Sounds like brakes are binding? Sound only happens when you start to move and not with engine RPM. Turn the steering in the other direction at about the same angle and see if it makes the same sound?

Solved. Replacing clutch fixed the problem. Here is one youtube short where same noise occur, also clutch replacement solved the issue

Was it the release bearing making the noise?

I would look at a sticking brake caliper, parking brake cable, detached parking brake shoes and lastly a bent front brake dust shield.

Will never know for sure. Did put new release bearing, clutch plate and disc.
Old release bearing had a lot more lateral play than new one tho.
In the video Iinked, in the comments he suggests old clutch disc was "polished", thus the screeching noise.
