Your description is rather vague... Is it a constant rattle, or does it only rattle when you're lightly on/off the throttle? Is the clutch engaged or disengaged when you hear it? At what RPM, speed, and other conditions are present when it happens?

An OEM (or OEM style, sprung hub, full plate) clutch however, shouldn't make noise at all. If a clutch was going to make noise, it typically only does it when disengaged (pedal in), since this is when the throwout bearing is loaded, the plates are separated, and some movement may occur.

It could be the "shifter rattle" many people have experienced. Do a search for it and see if the symptoms are familiar...
