Granted, lots of things can rattle lol. So your rattle could be different than another persons rattle...gosh these threads about "weird sounds" are damn near impossible to describe haha.

Yeah, I know these cars make a lot of 'strange noises' that are hard to source lol. I'm only going by my experience with it. It was the exact same sound that I was hearing before.
My throwout bearing never rattles at all on this car. Only time I heard a chatter when I pressed in my clutch was when I had an HKS twin carbon disc clutch on my MR2. The pilot bearing and throwout bearing are two different things, and I'm referring to the pilot bearing since that's what ended up going out on my car.
I described the hiss sound to my mechanic friend, and after he listened to it while riding in my car he guessed correctly that my pilot bearing was probably the cause (he's worked on a lot of Subarus). A couple of months later, the intermittent hissing turned into a clatter so I took it in to the dealership where they pulled it apart, found my pilot bearing was shot, replaced it under warranty and I went ahead and replaced the clutch disk, and resurfaced the flywheel since the transmission was already out anyway.
