I have an annoying sound coming from "below" "In front" of the front passenger side leg area.....As soon as I start the engine especially when it's a cold start but disappear slightly when the engine warms up.....still hear it and annoying at times. Checked the crank pulley -- not wobbly. Replaced tensioner pulley.....didn't really do much....and I replaced the serpentine.....why not? LOL!!!! Should I worry or just turn the radio up a bit.....

Thanks Folks...y'all are awesome!

Could it be a dirty fan. I believe there's a few YouTube videos on that

Can you post a video of your noise?

From the engine bay? Tensioner? Alternator? Power steering pump?

From the cabin side of the firewall? Air mix motor? Dirty cabin air filter? Front blower motor?

Sounds like Timing belt tensioner, when was the time you had it replaced?

If it were a pulley, it would go away when taking the serpentine off and starting motor.
The S belt won't make noise- if it needed it anyways, good call.

How old is your timing belt/tensioner? Does it change when you turn the steering wheel?

The fan below the glove compartment? If so, fan was not turned on.

Timing belt is 2 years old and less than 15K. Noise remains even if steering wheel is turned.

Here are the videos with sound (hopefully)......AC, Heat, or Fan TURNED OFF!

Everything in your exhaust system intact?

Can you pull any codes when you hook it up to a scanner?

Exhaust appears intact. I say that because I did not hear anything when I have it up and running.......followed from the manifold on back...Is there an exhaust check that can be done if i take it to a shop?
No codes at all.

Well as un update to the sound....it's actually the mounts.....I have them all replaced using OEM mounts and noise is gone.....I might venture in replacing the tensioner pulley with an OEM as well....it was replaced by an aftermarket initially thinking it was the source of the noise...

If it's possible, please, record a video sound clip after repairs. Thank you.

Amazing! So quiet now.
Now we know what bad engine mounts can sound like. Thanks!

Just an UPDATE and I believe I forgot to mention. The very annoying noise was exacerbated by the BAD MOUNTS but the source of it all was the TIMING BELT TENSIONER that was an aftermarket brand from AutoZone. Luckily, they warranted the part and took care of it........Pilot now is very SSSSMMMMOOOOOTTTTHHHHHHH.....

Good to hear! Quick, buy a lotto ticket. You're lucky it didn't fail and launch the timing belt.
