MasterIt could be many things, unfortunately and without hearing the noise first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests or be able to drive the car, its hard to say what the source of the noise may be. Could even be a cracked flex plate/flywheel impossible to guess without being able to hear the noise.
