Excessive accessory noise

[deftsound]

Seems like there is a LOT of accessory noise coming from my engine. I cant tell if its coming from the a/c or the belt tensioner or what. It just seems like a lot of drivetrane noise is coming from the belt run accessories.

Anyone know a way to quiet it down a little under the hood?

pop the hood and take a quick vid of it running.

use a screwdriver like a stethascope and listen through the handle to isolate the noise.

I had some noise coming from my power steering pump that dissapeared when i changed the belt. you could try that

ok turns out the bearing is bad on my ac compressor, damn is it loud! Anyone know if you can get new bearings for the compressor without having to replace the whole thing?
