Try to narrow down the probable source by standing in front of the car while it is at idle and try to determine the source by listening. Does it come from the front? back? right? left? Once you have narrowed the area then explore closer.

The sound is pretty intense but sounds louder on the right side where the starter is have not been able to pin point the exact area its so loud
