EDIT: tried to load an audio file and failed miserably.
It sounds like an old Cummins idling although much quieter.



These noises aren’t new nor have they been worsening over time.
It doesn’t seem to get louder with speed or RPMs and is only noticeable when the engine is idle as it’s not louder than the engine is when it’s over 1k RPMs.

Mainly I just want to know if it’s normal or if it’s a problem. I’m not bothered by it, haven’t had the CEL go on, haven’t noticed any other issues.
I just changed out my serpentine belt and idler pulleys which got rid of a different noise, but this one still persists. Now that I have it isolated I figured id ask.
Sound seems to be coming from below/behind the engine.
