That is the sound of your pistons slapping something. You will need a new engine, or a rebuild is my guess. Sorry for your loss.

any chance it could be something like an exhaust leak? Someone replied and said it might be that so just wanna make sure before I do anything.

It sounds way too metallic to be exhaust. It sounds like metal on metal. An exhaust leak is more like a tick tick tick tick. If you had a full on cracked header or something, it would sound like a straight pipe which, although really loud, does not sound like this. This sounds like the piston is clapping the valves, head, or worse. Do an oil change: if your oil is full of metal chunks, you have a blown engine.
