Default Flapping sound on acceleration

Just recently, I started to get a flapping sound that appears to be coming from the tranny area. It is noticeable on acceleration but not at cruising speeds. 2006 stock car. I appreciate any insights and if anyone knows a good place in Louisville, Ky to have it checked out, that would be great.
It is manual trans.

Does it sound mechanical or did you pick something up and its flapping?

Probably a plastic bag caught underneath the car, notorious for flapping sound
