If the bolts are loose or the flex plate cracked- it will make noise under a no load condition. Put the unit it drive or reverse & slightly powerbrake the unit & check if the noise goes away. If memory serves me right, you can access the flex plate bolts thru the bellhousing by removing the floorboard.
