Default noise coming from engine?

I just put my new 383 in about 2 weeks ago and there is a noise again coming from the engine bay/ firewall. Is what it sounds like is kind of like a throwout bearing when it goes out but not so much a squeak like that. My car is auto though so no throwout bearing. My exhast is so loud that you can only here it in the cockpit, when yo ustick your head under the car, and when you open the hood and get somewhat close. The noise was there when the onld engine was in there. I cant figure out what it is. Any suggestions or thoughts?

thanks
tyler

Take off the belt to see if it goes away. If so, then it's something on the accessory drive train.
