If it is the balancer, it is generally pretty obvious, the balancer wobbles as it turns.
Beyond that, so many things could make noise at idle, no way for any of us to tell you much without a good bit more info.

Twin disc clutches rattle at idle. That's what they do. It's normal. I don't understand why he doesn't know that
