Just from my personal experience, it sounds extremely similar to when my flex plate started to crack. It went away in gear, and shortly before I got it fixed, it was VERY loud. It was tiny little cracks that are very hard to see when it's still installed. They usually are around the bolt holes. Like I said, from my experience, it sounds exatcly the same.
Oh, side note too. If you didn't know, the starter uses this to crank the engine. I didn't have any starting problems, just one loud clicking noise at idle, that went away when put in gear.
Good luck,
Tony
