I doubt it. Under load, loose converter bolts would have a pretty strong side loading and would be quiet. At idle the small fluctuations in engine rpm versus the inertia of the torque converter could cause some noise if the bolts were loose- but not under load.
All you really have to do is put a socket on the crank damper's center bolt and move it back and forth with a breaker bar- not a ratchet- and see if the noise is evident.
Sounds more like detonation (pinging) to me though.
