New noise... Cause?

[clevelandkid]

Sorry for the crappy camera work. This is a new noise - trying to figure out where its coming from.

The car makes a squeal and then the tick you hear when starting cold.


The second video shows the noise slowing down getting softer as the car runs / gets gas.


The third video is after driving about 1000 feet, and the noise is almost completely gone.



Any ideas what could be causing it? The car drives normally. Thanks for your help.

sounds like a dry bearing on the idler pulley or alternator....once it warms up it might go away but soon that bearing is going to get hot, sieze up and bye bye belt.
