It's not common but flywheels have been known to come loose. Also the small crank bearing under the cover just above your finger will make a horrible intermittent 'grinding' sound if it starts to fail..... also not common but it does happen.
The bearing is the easiest thing to check first. However both require removing the cover to correct. I'd strongly encourage you to check it before you add more miles to avoid the possibility of a terminal failure. A loose flywheel can makes a real mess in there if left too long, as will a collapsed end bearing.
