No idea, but considering the other reports here of what sound like motor mount failures, cat converter separation, etc. I'd have it checked before too long. Loud distinct metallic sounds are not something to ignore.

Good luck,

The noise come from under the middle of the car. The car has been running fine since - no noise - no warnig lights - no shakes - no leaks

Would take to the dealer, but I feel silly saying car made a noise once but runs fine
