It's worth checking if the nut has come loose on the pinion wheel that connects to the prop shaft ..

If it has - just tightening it will remove a lot of the noise.

You should be able to check it with a lever or large screw driver - look for and movement. Thereshould be none.

Exhaust has to me moved and prop bolts (4) removed if you have to tighten it.
