Hi:

It's most likely a rod bearing, main bearing, cam bearing... Something was starved for oil and has been damaged. Because I'm not there to hear it, I recommend you allow a mechanic listen to it. He / she will most likely be able to give you an idea of what bearing it is based on it's sound.

If you have any other questions, let me know.
