307 noise in neutral dissapears when pressing clutch???

This may be caused by the mechanical ESP feedback when "calibrating". This short sound/vibration should appear once after starting up the car and shifting in the 1st or 2nd gear. Then not again. If it happens multiple times during your cruise it's not the ESP (except you're driving kind of reckless :) ).

Release bearing vibrating until pressing the clutch pedal puts a load on it. Very common on FWD cars and not usually a problem.

I'm not at all sure why women like men. We're argumentative, childish, unsociable and extremely unappealing naked. I'm quite grateful they do though.

so if i listened to another 307 it should do the same noise?

it's now due in to get a few things looked at,another problem that has just appeared is the radio losing certain fm stations! grrrrrr i give up

Clutch release bearings sounds about right to me. Ive asked a few ppl after I got my clutch done on my 306. Started making a strange noise in neutral. Everyone says the same thing, "thats the clutch release bearings, its ok, nothing to worry about, its normal". If its a new car then I would think that either the clutch has been changed (dont know why!) or the gearbox has been off. I dont recall many of my mates with new cars complaining about noises like that. If it pisses you off that much then take it back to the showroom and ask for another one cos you are not happy.
