If it's not something external like a exhaust or heatshield rattle it may be the DMF ( DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL )

Yep flywheel is very common fault you gotta take box out to be sure but cheapest option for diagnostic is a mechanics ear

You could remove the starter and check it and the ring gear is okay.
