something with the pulleys i bet, does it sound like its coming from one specific location? and it sounds external? not muffled as if it may be inside a housing of some sort?

I had the same exact sound on my Mustang and it turned out to be the serpentine belt i found this out after i bought all new pullys like a idiot, id try replacing the belt first and see if the sound goes away.

take the serp belt off and see if it goes away. if it does, its something driven by the serp belt. If it doesnt, time to start looking at the timing belt, and you DEFINATELY dont want a bad bearing to lock up on that boy...
