I believe it was Gollum in the books. Pippin did drop the stone into the well-type thing, it made Gandalf angry. But that is not what alerts the goblins to there presence.

And in the movies he does something of a similar sort, except this time its a whole suit of armour and it makes a large amount of noise in comparison to the stone, and he does it in Balin's tomb room. This is changed from the book and Jackson makes us think its his new armour dropping incident that alerts the goblins to the fellowships presence.
