Dual mass flywheel should not make any noise. BMW has been using them for 20 years.
Lightweight flywheels transmit more transmission noise. The E9xM3 uses a lightweight dual mass. At least relatively light.
Twin disc clutches are known to rattle since the plate in between the discs floats. Even if I was changing clutches, I would continue with a twin disk because they are more driveable than the stiff pressure plate big single that would be required to hold the same power.
Driveshafts can clunk, especially if the center support bearing is worn out or the u-joint or CV joint or rubber connecting guibo is worn out. Single piece driveshafts don't have a center support bearing but they still have u-joints or CV joints or rubber connecting guibos. Those can wear out. However, even a brand new single piece driveshaft can clunk -- I run one in my turbo E36M3 and it is noisier overall than the two piece one that it replaced. A carbon fiber one piece driveshaft might be quieter. Go drive a new M3 to find out since they have them from the factory.
Worn axles, differentials, diff mounts, diff bolts, subframe mounts, trans mounts, motor mounts, suspension bushings can all cause noise.
The trick is isolating the problem. Sometimes you need some load on the car and that is hard to achieve on a lift.
