If it was like a grinding noise (similar to old wooden floors) then as mentioned clean the clutch. Would also check if you have all the tooth on sprockets and they are in good shape and chain is well tensioned.
That is for starters.
Sounds similar to what my monster was doing but it had a wet clutch. Tried the sprocket/chain route. At the end gave up but it was annoying and got worse as bike started doing it under hard acceleration. Came out to be damaged spark plug lead and under heavy load miss fire.
