The other day I noticed a very faint grinding noise coming from the timing belt side of the engine. Sounds like it is coming from somewhere near the belts. I've read that it might be the crank pulley but I am still unsure on how to check it. My alternator also recently began to squeak, maybe a month before this grinding sound started. I had all my belts replaced about 500 miles ago
 
Check the tension.. And could you make a video of the noise?It could be one of many things.
 
I don't even think I can get a video because of how faint it is, I think the engine noise will cover it.
