    Is the noise there if you pull the belt off?

    I get a similar noise coming from the s/c but more like a grinding noise should I be worried? But once it warms up it goes away

    A) You have an intake and the sound is completely normal (sounds like a shovel being dragged across gravel?)

    B) You have a coupler that is on its way out the door (marbles in a bag being shaken up) Order Coupler kit and replace.

    C) Bearing going out, not a fun replacement, seek search bar and how to replace bearings.
