Check the serp belt to see if it is coming apart and slapping engine components. Let me know what you find.

Double check the belt to make sure coolant or other fluids are not getting on it. If it does it when the car is parked and running and the belt isn't an issue, you will need to check if the noise if coming from the transmission or the engine to be sure what to check next.
