Default Help Identifying This Sound

About a month ago my car, a 2003 automatic with 121k miles on it,made a horrible noise that sounded like it was coming from about mid car. The noise stopped after a few minutes and it didn't do it again until yesterday. It is a grinding noise and it comes and goes randomly, is affected by rpm but is there whether the car is in park or drive.The videos are for the sound and are taken at either and of the torque tube up through the rubber plug.






Thanks for any help.
