possibly lifter noise, but that usually goes away as the rpm's come up, in my experience. I would make a quick check of belts, pulleys, harmonic balancer, and exhaust fittings (possible exhaust leak?). Your friend said it is coming from the rear, but if it makes the noise while you are revving in park, it can't be back there, right? Have someone else rev it slowly while you look under the hood to see if you can locate the noise.

I'm wondering if this could be the alternator going out..it's been acting crazy with voltage ranging from 14-11.5 and when I shut it down today it make a scrubbing type of a noise..

If I knew what it was I wouldn't be asking..it's coming from the front and alt has been acting screwy but this noise just started Sunday..it's while driving idling parked but in varying degrees..
