It sounds like a bad release bearing. That is only loaded when declutch (foot down on the floor) or taking load on the pressure plate. If it stops promptly when your foot is lifted, thats probably it.

Remedy is removal of transmission and replacement release bearing. If miles are high, you might want to do the clutch plate but definitely the rear main engine oil seal.

to show this sound, I have used handbrake. in real this sound is short and only when the car starts moving.
no noises and sounds in neutral, pressing the clutch.
sound appears when there is a load.

Hmmm. Bad release beRing will make noise in any gear, only dependent on pedal position

The good news is if it's clutch plate you still drop the transmission to deal with it.

Release bearing, disc, rear engine seal while you have the chest cut open, to coin a phrase from surgery.
