The starter is too loud when starting and you can here the klack noise at that time.
Ring gear and starter gear mis-matched or misaligned? The continuing clack after starting can be ongoing interference between the gears... or the ring gear hitting somewhere. Bad spring could leave the starter gear just far enough out to contact the ring gear at one -- or two-- points.
These ideas go with your current best guess of the noise coming from the back of the engine. Another possibility back there is an exhaust pipe or draft tube hitting somewhere. They can set up some amazingly steady rhythms under the right conditions.
