You can hear it good at the begining, but quiets down, as the car warms up.

I would have said it was a belt tensioner noise if you didnt mention its coming from the rear as the tensioner noise also lessens as the car warms...curious as to how it turns out...

Default sound

you said it comes from the back of the motor.....are you sure? I had a noise that sounded the same and it drove me crazy attempting to figure out what was wrong.
It turned out it was just the belt. I did not believe it until after my guy changed it, the noise was gone.

My guess is dry pulley bearing - hard to find as some pulleys have inner and outer bearings - When I did mine recently I found 3 bearings showing signs of heat (Blued races) indicating lack of lube. most of my noise would go away at hot operating temps, drove me crazy for about 8 months.
