Question about Centerforce pressure plate

Is it normal to hear the little weights rattle?
For a while I had been hearing a little rattle in the bell housing area. Just kinda off and on. But, recently, It has gotten constant. I pulled the trans and the only thing I can see that;s loose is those little weights. I know they're not suppposed to be solid but do they make noise?

No, the centrifugal force is supposed to keep them spread out under tension.
My Dual-friction has never made any noise.

does it change with clutch pedal down?

should be quiet as the night. haha couldnt think of any other metaphor to work off the top of my dome.

if it was the throw out bearing it would only make nose with clutch pedal down or clutch disengaged.

new pilot bearing?
