Default clutch making wierd noises

sounds like somethings loose when engage then disengage the clutch. it doesnt do it all the time. sometimes when im riding the clutch say on an incline at a complete stop, it makes wierd sounds, like spinning a 45ib steel gym weight on a steel peg. any ideas whats happening?

Could be that something broke on the pressure plate. That happened to my car 2 years ago. Took it into the dealer and it was fine when I picked it up it was making a funny jangling noise. The dealer tech swore up and down it didn't make the noise the last time he moved the car and all they did was move it around the lot from where I parked it inside the shop and back to where I parked it. As it turned out a small tab broke off the pressure plate and was banging around inside the clutch. It made the most noise when I had the clutch pedal in.
