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

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!
