>>Engine mount?
... and exhaust joint/hanger, driveshaft, multitude of suspension joints, steering joints, loose wheelnuts... a multitude of things.
Check for engine mount by getting someone to look at the engine as you load it up as if to take away but with the handbrake on.... see if rocks excessively and/or makes the noise.
Similarly for exhaust issues by having someone listen as you do the on/off power as above.
Check for most of the rest by jacking up the front wheels in turn (plus support in case jack lets go) and trying to rock them and the suspension with hands at 12/6 o'clock then 3/9 o'clock.
Driveshaft check by clamping mole grips to the driveshaft each side just inboard of the suspension and trying to turn to/fro a little and seeing if the noise is replicated.
OK so it's more involved than that but those basic checks will soon see if something major is about to fall off.
Edit: Thinking more most things suspension/drive associated are more of a clonk, clack or rumble/knocking. Loose exhaust bits do make a ting.
