A throwout bearing is pretty far away from the intake. I can't even picture what your friend is trying to suggest. Try putting your car up on jackstands and start it. Look around for things that could rattle. Maybe use a mechanics stethescope to see if you can pinpoint the sound.

Have you adjusted your clutch recently? Maybe a little too loose so that the release fork is rattling?

Does the noise change when engaging the clutch pedal? I had a throwout bearing go bad and could tell just by working the clutch and the pitch of the sound would change.
