[HELP!] Have you ever heard this metal on metal noise?

Sounds like the flex plate to me but it’s so hard to tell.

Hello,

This past Saturday I just started hearing this noise...

I haven't tried to get a better idea of where it is coming from, but maybe someone has heard it before?

2009 Yukon

Update:
The exhaust has a shield, and it rusted and made contact with the drive shaft.
Cut the piece off, and now the sound is gone.

Good thing you didn't pull the transfer case! Thanks for following top with your solution.

I knew it sounded like something rotating and banging, just glad it wasn’t the flexplate!
