It might have been an exhaust shield. Have you looked under the car yet?

Does the car make any hissing / grinding / chattering noises while in Neutral and your foot off the clutch, and does that noise go away when you push the clutch pedal down?

Does this rattle only occur while accelerating, or does it do it while you're parked and revving the engine, too?

only when accelerating and decelerating, after the car is running for a while it goes away sometimes, but it doesnt do it when its in neutral or when the clutch is pushed in, if im accelerating and then push in the clutch the sound goes away, i heard it might be the input shaft bearing

Sounds like it is most-likely the culprit.

I don't know. You'll need to contact your local repairman for that. (dealership, or independent shop)
