You will need a mechanic with a trained ear to listen to it. It could be coming from many things. As far as the transmission, they are hard to break so you should be okay.

this sounds like possibly a damaged drive axle. You will need to have somebody test drive the car to give you a better idea. Noises are hard to repair over the computer. Good luck
