Is it non stop? Does it only happen when your defrost/A/C is on? When was your last Fuel filter change? Have you looked for soot on the up pipes? Last, but not least, can you remove your serpintine belt and check the idler pully? Most importantly, Good Luck!!! I hope this helps.

Is it just barely noticeable? You might consider changing your air filter. Mine gets a slightly different sound when the filter is dirty.
