Default Engine Making Terrible Noise??

I just pulled up in my garage and it sounds like there is a pinball knocking around in my engine. Sounds terrible. Anyone have any clues to what it may be? SHould i have it towed to the shop? Never have had any probs with my car.

Video clip?
Pin ball, is it located in one area or moving around?
Does it happen in park/drive/r/neutral?

You're going to what to get a video of it for two reasons. One, if it magically stops, and the dealership or shop can't replicate it. Two, I WANNA HEAR IT!
