Default Strange engine noises and car shudder...any ideas?

When my car idles like at a stoplight or something the engine make a kinda loud steady clicking or metal slapping noise. Also the car roughly idles and has like a deep low, steady, subtle shudder, not really though the steering wheel but the whole car.

No CEL.



any ideas?
