Tapping / rattling sound from near bell housing only when seated

[GoldCountry]

I have an intermittent tapping or rattling sound that’s getting more regular. I heard it in my driveway so I hopped out to listen under the jeep, but the sound went away. When I got back in the driver’s seat, it returned immediately. I repeated this several times and like a switch, the sound was present when I was in the seat, but immediately went away when I wasn’t.

Can’t hear anything with load and RPMs, but at idle or low RPM it’s there. Seems to not be there after 5-10 minutes.

What the heck could this be?

Or sounds like a box of rocks, clutch in or out?

GoPro under your Jeep is a good way to find things...

Not the typical nv3500 with the clutch out in neutral sounds. This is different. I’m familiar with NV rattle as I own a vehicle with a 3500, 4500 and 5600.

I’ll have to buy a GoPro, but it’d be worth a try if I get one.
