What is this sound!?!?! Video included

[Nofear20]

View the vid please. This sound is totally random. It is squeeky and very annoying. This is one of the rare times it has done it at idle, and I was lucky enough to get a vid of it. It almost always does it when there are any major changes in movements in the car.. for example when i start off from a stop, when I change gears, hit bumps, etc, it will almost always make the sound. I thought it was my J pipe squeeking up against the radiator fan bracket, but I stuck a piece of cardboard in between the 2 and it still does it. Also when it is making the noise at idle, I can just hold the lower IC pipe and the sound stops?? What the hell??? Please help as this is very annoying and noticeable (it is quite a bit louder in person than in this vid)

To me it sounds like your timing belt running against the cover. When I put on my ss shield my timing belt rubbed and that's what I heard.

Is it possible for that to happen with the stock cover?

Yes if your tensioner is causing it to loosen when infact they usually tighten up while running. Just unbolt the cover and see if the sound continues. If it does you can rule that out. Something may just be loose.

Ok, I will try that in a bit. Thanks

Anyone else have any other ideas incase that doesn't work?

sounds kinda like one of the bolts on your heat sheild is loose

 

[jrohner]

I think it sounds like an accessory belt, such as the waterpump / alternator belt.

Check your crank shaft end play I hate to say it but it could be possible crankwalk. Or it is possible the cover is rubbing on something.

a notherthing that I forgot to mention is I have seen the bolts on the timing cover come loose and rub on the water pump pulley check that.

Better not be crank walk, this is rebuilt 6 bolt with only around 8k miles on it

 

[skipdownstairs]

Then you can probably throw the crankwalk out of the equation but check your endplay anyway.
