I just recently had a similar noise, turned out to be the a/c compressor. In my case though since I dont use it i just cut off the a/c belt and the noise was gone. I also had a alternator noise on the other car but that was a higher pitched noise.

Id say try pulling belts off and see which makes the noise. Me personaly id pull all 3 off and start, if the noise is gone id add them one at a time and start after each. When the noise comes back you know where your problem is. If the noise isnt gone with the belts off other people would have to give opinions on that as I dont know much for motor internals.

guess ill try to take off the belts and might as well get new ones. also do you have take off anything to take off the belts?

I personaly find it alot easier to move the power steering pump out the way. Dont know if its required to do it or not. Also something ive found from personal experence you might want to do. While you have the belts off, spray the pulleys with engine degreaser and hose them off. I had some power steering fluid on my other cars a/c pulley and it made a supercharger type noise.

ok thanks for info :up:
