You should have stopped and turned off the engine as soon as you noticed the overheating. By continuing to drive, you may have caused further and permanent damage.



The noise is speculation ( especially not knowing what type of vehicle you have ) but it could have been the timing chain, valves, scorched rod or crank bearings, etc.
