If you have the noise with the blade off AND on it's probably not the clutch there. If it makes the noise with the drive brake/clutch pedal down, probably not the idlers under there. I'd look close for a stick or something jammed up under there. Maybe you can hear the noise more around the top of the engine? Could be something around the flywheel rubbing?
