Default Odd noise- help please?

Road my 07 Ultra home from work just a bit ago. Everything was normal. Pulled into the driveway and shut her off to open the gate.
Started it to pull it in the back and the starter made that god awful clunk which I have heard a time or two. I started ok but now I have a high pitched whine/squeal which sounds like it is coming from the lower left side of engine (Chaincase area?)
The sound corresponds with the speed of the engine, rev it it goes faster. Seems to make the sound in gear or neutral.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd suggest pulling the outter primary and looking for either a broken ring gear tooth or anything for that matter that may have lodged itself between the clutch hub and inner primary.
