probably not pebbles, but whacking it seems to be what a lot of other people end up doing ( if it's the heat shield ) because that will deform it and make it stop vibrating...

if it does sound like pebbles ( or what most people say - rocks rolling around in a tin can ) then that's often how the IMS bearing failure is described...
