Default Sound of bad throwout bearing?

I rescently installed a poly trans mount. I of course hear more tranny noises now, but I also hear a slight knocking noise and when I push in on the clutch it goes away. This leads me to believe its the throwout bearing, but I've heard bad ones that never sounded like this.
There's also the sound of something loose on the car, and I can't find it, even on the lift. It doesn't always do it either, just at certain rpm's and sometimes not at all.
Anyways, thanks for any suggestions and replies.
