A broken ring gear on the flywheel can sound like that too. Had a vehicle years ago making a loud scraping/grinding noise (louder at idle & lower RPMs but more intermittent & less noticable above 2500RPM) that was initially diagnosed as having a cracked torque converter, but when they pulled it apart they found that a broken ring gear on the flywheel was the culprit.
