Default more engine nosies :-(

Hi all, me again...

I’ve discovered another engine noise that is concerning me, this time it sounds like a weerning sound, it appears every 5 seconds that lasts for 2 seconds, sounds like some kind of pump, situated on the drivers side of vechicle (right side)

I can feel it when I put my foot on the accelerator (not sure if I can feel it on the brake)

It’s only a new development, so any suggestions?

Oscalating whirrr?
Bad bearing.
Feel it in the peddle?
Something on the engin.
Take a long handle screw driver, (or something simular), press one end to your ear, the other to the various engin parts, (pumps, Alt., ect.). Have some one slowly rev the engin while you CARFULLY do this.
Can't find it?
Could be a timing belt pully.

Sounds like the A/C compressor might have bad bearings or clutch, hence the cutting in/out of the noise as the A/C cycles, try it with the A/C on/off to identifiy the source.

I’ve tried it with and without the AC, it's still making the noise, not sure if we're talking about the same thing so to clarify, it's a black cylindrical object to the left side of the power steering fluid unit.

should i worry ?
