Pulley Noise
I have had a noise when the car is cold which sounded like it may be a pulley or belt. The noise would go away once the car was warm, so I didnt pay any mind to it. Today however, while driving, I started hearing this same noise. It was kind of intermittent. I dont have any codes showing up. Do you guys have any audio on what a pulley sounds like when its going bad?

Take off the serpentine belt and rotate each thing by hand. If anything feels or sounds odd, that's probably your cause for the noise.
On my 94 LT1, the alternator and the idler pulley didn't feel right. Made a whistling sound when cold.
