Weird random noise sometimes

[crespoh69]

Hey guys, I'm currently getting a weird noise on my 1999 V6 2WD Automatic. Aside from the random noise that comes and goes, I don't feel any symptoms like power loss and such, what could the issue be? Sound seems pretty apparent on this link. Should I be worried? Originally I posted this on the 4th gen section because I couldn't post on the 3rd gen section for some odd reason the past week or so.

From here, it sounds like a pretty decent rub. Since the vehicle is stopped, it will be somewhere up in the drive belts in the front (or less likely, the timing system). Move around and see if you can isolate the general area and look for witness marks of something rubbing.

Fan shroud lower cover loose, etc.

sounds like you got a duck in there!

check your fan (fan clutch) for any play.

Could be drive belt. Pull on each of them and see if there is any slop. Maybe a belt tensioner got loose.

Report back.

Does it only do it with AC on?

I once had an AC clutch fail and it sounded a fair bit like that.
