After car runs for a short period of time, i am hearing like a chafing (maybe

Need more info, does the noise happen moving or sitting? Does the noise change with speed, describe the noise like tic click squawk (I always love this part in person) bump, you get the idea, where is the noise coming from.

Check the flexplate (flywheel for automatic transmission) to see if it is broken or rubbing against the cover.
