I haven't found anything. I thought it might be the front ring bearing and when to get one but the parts house does not have one in stock. They tell me that part rarely if ever wears out and there is no demand for one. I'd rather not throw parts at the dryer and hope for the best. The noise sounds like something is loose but I haven't found anything yet.

After I put it back the dryer was quiter so I'll have to get another bearing and install it it looks like
