weird noise

The noise sounds like its coming from the front cam. Anyone might have a clue of what it could be?

I would disconnect the serpentine belt and repeat that test and see if the noise goes away or is still there.

I would check the tensioner. Seems to be making the noise only when its getting more speed and force on that belt. Is the belt in good condition?

The belt was replaced a few months back. I'll have to check the tensioner. I'll report back my findings.

Thanks all!
