Grinding/Loud Vibration noise coming from my engine compartment every once and awhile when i step on the accelerator. Had the tranny looked at, and i was told that it looked to be in superb condition for having 200k+ miles on it. No leaks, ect. Just wondering if anything loose that i could fix myself could be the culprit.

Start by checking motor and transmission mounts, if bad they will allow excessive engine movement.
