Strange noise

The noise comes from flex plate torque converter area. Loud and sounds like a vibrating or chattering of some sort. Just swapped transmissions, sounds like the starter is still engaged but it isn’t. Everything works fine and nothing gets overly hot like it’s binding. I don’t see any metal shavings or chunks on the flex plate teeth. I’m stumped. It sounds like a broken flex plate but wondering what could be other potential things that i should inspect. I tried to post a video of the noise let me know if it didn’t work
