Whats up guys. Since it's been pretty cold here in NC for the winter time I've noticed a very strange noise coming from what I think could be a pulley or hopefully not something worse. The car drives fine and its still got plenty of power. The noise does go away after the car warms up, but it's taking longer for it to go away every day. I was thinking it could be a bad alternator but I cant say at the moment. I do have subs in the back of the car, so could that be drawing more power than the alternator or battery can take? I can't exactly remember if the noise started before or after I put the subs in so I might try to unhook the power for them at the battery to see if it stops. Thanks in advance for the help/replies.

Here's a youtube link of the noise.

Put a long screwdriver up to your ear and (carefully!) listen around the engine compartment to see if you can pinpoint the noise. Could be the alt. It kinda sounds like it could be an air noise as well. Maybe the iac is fluttering. Like I said you just gotta poke around and listen to see which component is the culprit

Yeah, I've got one of those auto stethoscopes. I didn't even think about that. Thanks.
