Default Flutter noise in transmission

Hey guys.

Om looking for some answers or at least theories. All are helpful.
I drive a 98 GS300 Stock to the bone with roughly 180xxx on the dash.
Problem is when im driving it, after it warms up I believe its the tranny
that making this light flutter sound. Almost sounds like a piece of metal tapping a base of metal at a rapid rate though its a faint and low sound.
Strange thing is that it hasnt or hasnt yet caused any issues with the performance.

Thanks in advance.

Might be the transmission pump cavitating(sucking in air bubbles). Check your transmission fluid level to see if it's low. The other thing it could be is the trans fluid is too old and needs to be changed.
