Default 1996 Honda Accord v6 engine making loud rattling noise help!nnn

above is a video of exactly what the noise sounds like. Okay so for the past week I would say I've been having this extremely loud rattling under the hood of my car. I took it to my friends work they told me sounds like the flywheel. When I had a friend of mine which is mechanic listen to a video of he noise he told me ac pulley of ac compressor or loose heat sheild, when my dad checked he said same thing pulley of heat sheild. My car starts up great and doesn't shift rough at all. It's just this extremely loud rattling noise that I can't figure out where it's coming from or what it could be. It makes the noise when I start the car at idle and when I drive... Someone please help me because this is making me not sleep haha.

Someone listening to the noise in person is gonna be better than someone reading this trying to imagine what rattle your hearing.

Hi,

It sounds metallic. Unlikely to be a pulley.

Hi,

Would it be possible to take another video with the hood open and take the camera a bit closer to the engine bay.

How's the oil look? Due for an oil change soon?
Its kinda hard to hear clearly but it could be a heatshield loose and rattling.

Oil looks fine it's full. I am due for oil change in 1,000 over the recommended time. But I know it's def not a flywheel cause I just took my car around the block and it was fine just the loud noise

Hi,

Definitely not a pulley. Something loose get under the car and retorque all bolts, exhaust clamps etc. While your at it chk the engine mounts as well.
