There are so many possibilities!
- Check the oil level, if it is too low, you could be in trouble.
- There could be a belt or flywheel that has a bit frayed slapping against something,
- You could have caught some trash in a flywheel or fan belt or just the fan.
- Excess vibration may have a rotating part hitting something near it.
- It may be a stone or nail in one of the tires!
