Not likely.
But so anything is possible.

yeah yeah - we know.
The most wonderful time of the year - to blow a head gasket.
I go sideways at 55 mph on the highway if I'm not careful.
Like to the video. Nothing special thats actually my first YouTube video ever lol
Please watch it and let me know what you guys think this noise really is.
Like I said it wasn't this loud before...it actually made me believe it was in the intake before I took this video.

I'm Laying in bed, I got an exam at 7 tomorrow that I just found out about and I'm hoping the kid that sits next to me shows up
But when I get off work I'll crawl under there...oh man do I hope it's just a loose bolt.
A car lift in my garage sounds amazingly awesome right about now

What does your oil pressure read???
No way in hell is that a TC bolt...
That is NASTY sounding!!!!!! Pull the oil filter, cut it open and look for metal

Oh shit really? You're scaring me now!! When I took off my valve covers I could see one or two very very verrrrt tiny metal shavings of metal in the oil around my lifters

videos aren't good indications of troubleshooting using sound. The mic doesn't pick it up just right and then end users speakers will change it again.
If it's the torque converter bolts you're a very lucky man. When they are loose, they sound WAAAAAYYYY worse than you would imagine. Checking them for snug won't take more than 1 minute.
From that video, it sounded like you were on fast idle and a rod is getting ready to shoot out the side of the engine.
What doesn't make sense is earlier you said there was no noise in the pan area and it was localized to the drivers side up top.
I guess you can always pull the DS valve cover, hook the plug wires back up and start it again.

But the sound is loudest right there by the flex plate if I'm not mistaken...

Oil filter is easy to remove and cut open...if you saw metal on the topside of the motor, there is more

You can't see the lifters from under the valve covers.....
and what kind of shavings? Like dust, or slivers? and will they stick to a magnet?
Damnit I'm a noob..I didn't even check to see if they would stick to a magnet but it looked like slivers to me. And you are right I didn't hear it from the pan but I think I didn't hear it that time because I was on the passenger side of the car and that's where the exhaust is and like I said my exhaust is very very shitty..
