Why do ACT2600 clutch's rattle (chatter) even when new?

When I installed a new style (4 springs) ACT2600 clutch w/street disc. I noticed it chatters (rattles) ONLY when slowing down in 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. I was always under the impression that only accurs on old style discs (6 springs) as the springs become loose from the disc and begin to move around.

I noticed my new ACT made the noise the first day I drove it out. I thought the springs are supposed to quite clutch chatter. Why do new (sprung) clutch's sometimes make noise?

I'v heard of quite a few people having this problem but it seems to go away once the clutch is fully broke in.
 
I have the same noise at low rpms and in lower gears. I have the 2600 w/street disk and Act flywheel.
