Your best bet is to crawl under the car and get a look. I wouldn't rule out a flex disk but, if the current noise was preceded by a howling sound, getting progressively worse over time, it is probably the center bearing and/or carrier. This bearing is mounted in a (rubber compound) "carrier". Very possibly the bearing seized, or got hot enough, to have destroyed the rubber portion of the carrier allowing the shaft to bang around within its steel shell.
