Hmmm sounds like u have a fi car lol. But i would do what was said already remove the aux. Belt and see if it still makes that noise. It sounds like a bearing on the pulleys is going out

Thanks... I will try the Lithium Grease thing first, then the belt thing... I don't know how comfortable I am with cruising around with no belts I live in a super hilly area and my driveway is on an incline... It would be a crumby day if I get stuck somewhere...

You don't have to drive the car with the belt off. Just run it momentarily and see if the noise goes away.If not you may have a waterpump issue. The noise sounds very metalic to me.No change with the A/C compressor on or off ??

If your A/C no longer blows cold air then its the A/C compressor.. The oil in there that chills the air also lubes the bearing..
