I would imagine that the loose tooth would find it's way to the bottom of the case. I would think for short runs that the missing tooth should not present a huge problem in the short term. Some old-school hot-rodders used to cut every other tooth off so they could slam through the gears.

Now it may be that you actually bent a tooth, so the sound you hear it that bent tooth impacting something on every rotation.
