What's that sound?!

Just started hearing a sound more and more that's got me worried. Hoping you guys can help my figure it out. I'll do my best to describe it, it's kinda like a mild scraping or scratching. I only hear it when I engine brake or downshift hard with the clutch engaged. Just hear it for a few seconds then it's gone. It does seem to be happening more and for longer periods of time now.

I have 2 possible suspects: 1. noticed a crack on my front fender, maybe the plastic scraping on itself is making that noise when the weight transfers more to the front tire? or 2. (which seems more probable) noticed my chain seems especially looooose. Could it be clanging around when I downshift? How tight should it be, how can i tell? Is it hard to tighten?
