Chattering, any ideas what it could be?

So today I noticed a chattering sound from my car, Im not sure how long its been there but I just noticed it when I had my stereo completely turned down. Its not coming from the engine I dont believe. When Im in neutral and I rev the car up slowly I wont hear it. But as Im driving and accelerating is when it is noticable. I just had a new clutch put in and its working fine. We filled up the tranny with fluid because we lost some when we pulled it. Does anyone know what this could be?

did you replace the throwout bearing?

my throwout bearing is bad, and it chatters like crazy. If I put my foot ever so slightly on the clutch is stops. Is this riding the clutch, and taking off material?

Yea I did replace the throwout bearing and I dont think its that because I dont hear it when the car is sitting still, only when im accelerating. Then the noise gets quicker as I accelerate, its like a tapping sound.

how long ago did u replace the clutch? and what kind of flywheel and pressure plate do you have?

I just replaced it last week. I have a stock flywheel, and it was resurfaced. And the pressure plate is a king cobra, that's the kit that I got.

i think it is common for u to have flywheel chatter for a couple 100 miles after a new clutch install.

Ok, update, is that I believe this sound is coming from under the hood near the passenger side firewall. I hear it all the time but it is much louder upon acceleration. The sound is loudest near the throttle body area, Im gonna check my egr delete plate (might be loose). I think it could also be the header on that side, maybe it wasnt tightened enough when the exhaust system was removed to drop the tranny. Any other ideas of what it could be around that area? Its more of a tapping sound than chatter I decided.
