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...
Ill look around, thanks! Ill explain anyways though. So lets say im going 50mph im coming up to a stop light. Throttle completly off, clutch in, throw it in neutral, brake... Braking... Braking... Slowing down from 30-20mph it rattles then it stops and i come to a complete stop. Happens like that all the time. Also, every now and then very rarely has only happened twice. The car will be on and at a complete stop in neutral no gas no brake no clutch but itll still rattle continuously until i throw it in first or itll just stop by itself.
