Checked the inspection-plate cover?

I had a gut wrenching sound coming from the engine compartment of my 91 9kT a few weeks ago. First started late at night, driving home in an inhospitable neighborhood, etc., so kept going. No signal lights, no loss of power, no anything but the awful noise.
Straight to the mechanic in the AM -- look of shock and oh-my-God on his face. Upon opening the hood and using his stethoscope, it turned out to be a small, black, plastic inspection plate cover down and to the right (as you stand at the hood-latch point). Plate about two inches square; when pushed firmly into its notches, the noise quit.
First time I've ever hugged a mechanic!
