The clutch plate also has very similar damper springs that run the circumference of the clutch hub. Ive seen those crack and just flat out degrade to the point that they are loose and you can hear the hub, springs and friction rattle by hand when you take them out.
They would rattle anytime the engine runs, probably more prominent in the lower revs because the engine strokes are more defined?
Im gonna guess that as you let the clutch out, the rattle goes away for a bit only to return when the clutch is lightly loaded? On acceleration and deceleration does it pipe down?
.
My bet is on the damper springs on that clutch plate.

thx for your imput ,,
Would you also think that the SNAP sound I heard and then the NOISE I now hear could of been the damper springs on the clutch plate breaking ??
