This does sound like the IMs failure to me.. Generaly an RMS failure will create no mechanical sounds..
I have experienced several clients that have had multiple failures, one of them is on engine #4 at the present.

It has become clear that driving style impacts the IMS failure.

The engine could be salvageable so get a second opinion from someone with the proper internal comprehension of the M96.
