Perhaps the inspection plate is hitting the flex plate or the heads of the torque converter bolts? Just a guess.

The inspection cover wasn't dented in any where was it? Look on the inside of it and see if there are any marks from something rubbing it.

Run it without the inspection cover for a couple of days to confirm the noise is gone.
