You be careful man...that could be a rod bearing. I don't know for sure, and I hope I'm wrong.

If it starts to sound like a Subaru it’s misfiring most likely. You wanna get that checked out.

It's just weird because I don't hear the sound coming from the engine bay.

Do a compression and leak down test then drop the pan and check guts. I'm usually the type to say everythings fine but yeah that's never good news. No noise by bay?? odd.
