actually i found out what it was

I had a hydro pulley installed for the water pump and it was cracking until it finally cracked totally and I had to take it off. The rattling was because the belt was shaking unsteadily. so i would check your pulleys to make sure they are intact

no just simply make sure that the pulleys arent cracked or split and make sure they are tight and are spinning completly round. And then you can check your tensioner.
