Default Chatter at low RPM w/ stock setup

So i'll be cruising around in any gear at about 2000 rpm or so and get on the gas quickly and i get light chatter for about half a second. It's only when i accelerate fairly quickly, i don't get it with smooth slow acceleration. What is this and should i be worried?

No, i'm not lugging the engine. My foot is off the clutch when i accelerate and it makes this noise. It makes this breif chatter when i nail it from any rpm i found out today.

Im having the exact same issue as frontman. I just had a clutch installed yesterday and from about 1800-2100 rpm it chatters on acceleration. Definately NOT lugging because i use to accelerate at lower RPMs w/ no prob at all. Guys who put it in were puzzled and sent me on my way...real comforting after spendin all that $

What is the chatter at "lugging" caused by? I drive like a grandma most days and I hear that sometimes.

When I punch it, foot off the clutch I do not hear any chatter like the original posting.
