Very loud bearing like sound on med to hard Accelration?

video up in a bit. I can't figure this out. It doesn't make the sound on normal driving or the highway. Just a loud scraping like bearing sound on med to hard acceleration. Could it be a differential bearing? I think I hear it on both sides its honestly hard to tell. I already replaced the wheel bearing on one side. What else could it be? I am stumped? lol

Does it make any noise at idle? Maybe just not as loud as accelerating? Or is it ONLY at med-hard acceleration? Also, how new is your clutch and pressure plate?

It sounds to me like a piece of sheet metal rattling, like the heat shields on the exhaust manifolds and exhaust pipes.

Its not a shield. NO way. lol. How could you think a shield would make a sound like that? and ONLY during hard accel? I would be blown away if it ever way a shield as it makes my whole front end practically vibrate lol
