Help identifying engine compartment noise?

Sure thing.

Not entirely sure it's a permanent solution here, but apparently some silicone spray on the lower pulley shut that sound right up.

I am very interested in the solution to this one as I have exactly the same noise on cold start for about 5 minutes.
AugustLab...did you find what the problem was??

Change the bearing then! It’s a $10 part....

Check your belts, they can make a squeaking noise like a bearing IME.
Spray some water on the moving belts (stand back), if the noise
goes away for a second or two and comes back, get a set of new
(OEM) belts.

I haven't fixed it since money was tight (because I had just installed a lift) and the sound went away on its own as the weather warmed. I am going to replace the tensioner though and the belts.

Cheers for that....might have a look at my tensioner as well.

OK so I finally got around to this issue and it was the AC Tensioner Pulley. I went ahead and put new belts on all around as well. All good now. Thanks for all the feedback on this post.
