Check torque converter bolts for being loose then try to see if it is in valve train area. It may also be a belt as well or tensioner.

I forget what the parts called but I just had it in the shop and I had driveshaft problems and they replaced something on the back axle that connects to the drive shaft it was making lot of noise but I don't know if that could have done anything to The torque converter or not I didn't really notice it until a day after I got it back
