Default Sound in engine bay

Not sure what this sound is or where its coming from. It used to go away once the car warmed up but its staying now. Anyone know what it could be? Thanks

Igalino,

My guess would be the AC clutch or AC compressor, if you have that. If so try turning the AC on and off, and see if the sound changes. To continue, disconnect the drive belt(s) and see what belt drives the sound. Just do not run the engine more than a minute or two that way. If the sound is belt-driven, leave the engine off and rapidly rotate each pulley on that belt both ways by hand. Chances are, you will feel or hear the noisy item when you turn the right pulley.

The bad part of using a camera like this is the sound is crap. Since there is a single source of sound collection its impossible to get any type of direction. I think I can hear exhaust leak. I had people hold their phones towards the engine bay and ask "What is That" I have no idea. Only to have them show up in person and I can tell what wrong without the hood popped from 10ft away.
