Absolutely. While the engine is running. Thats what the old worn out starter in my old winter beater 76 nova with a 250 was doing. Up in the air with the flywheel cover removed you could watch everything shaking and make contact with the flywheel momentarily creating the rattle sound. Started off very randomn, and obviously got to the point where up in the air trying to find it (and checking flywheel, hence the flywheel cover removed) starting it up for a listen and bingo as they say. Only experienced it once on that car. I think it was only virtue of the fact it was up in the air and running that we finally located the sound. Changed starters and all was quiet again.
