Default muncie rattle/chatter now with sound clip

I just got car running now have a rattle noise from trans can only hear while in car doors shut

1. In neutral clutch pressed or depressed still there
2. Noise gets faster in neutral with increase in engine rpm
3. Noise goes away or lessens to where I cant hear with car in reverse or 1st letting clutch out and starting to roll

Im at a loss usually by doing these steps I can troubleshoot on whether its pilot bushing or throw out bearing.

Noise im talking comes on strong at about 15-17 seconds

I think I found it disconnected belt that runs alternator and fan and noise is coming from timing cover area and the noise im hearing in car is noise transfer I do believe it is the gear drive idler pulley rubbing on timing cover or a SLIM possibility that cam gear bolts backed out.
