I just had that problem on my 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. I needed to replace the belt tensioner.
You might need to replace the automatic belt tensioner.
Alternator straining to maintain battery charge?
lights are on
If a Lincoln LS V8 is making a engine noise when it is shifted into drive or reverse, it could indicate a seized gear in the transmission. It could also indicate a low transmission fluid warning.

Weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Starter solenoid?
"The car engine's internal noise was loud and very annoying. No-one could listen to the radio because of it.""The internal noise of the TV was growing louder and was becoming higher pitched. It was a warning, for the serial murderer was just behind the last door."
An engine that is about to fail can make any number of noises from squealing belts, to loud ticking sounds, to metallic thuds. Some don't even make a sound until after the engine has experience catastrophic failure. Most of the time you will be warned by the indicator lights or the gauges on the dash board; the check engine light will come on, the temperature gauge will read hot, and the tachometer will be fluctuating. If your car is making noise or there are warning lights on, you need to bring the vehicle to certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
Noise. Without noise, it can't work. Noise is in an engine, and without it does not work. Every engine has to make some kind of noise, internal or external, inside or outside the engine.
that warning noise is telling you your brake pads need to be replaced as soon as possible, plus i would replace them very quickly anyway cause the noise is annoying
What kind of noise: A motor hum? A high-pitched sound? Which lights: the kitchen lights? The ceiling fan light? Sounds like you have your lights on a dimmer and that will cause a high-pitch sound. The noise is motor hum and a "clinking noise" almost like the glass domes are loose (they aren't). The lights I was referring to are the ceiling fan lights. I am not using a dimmer switch. Also, it is a Hunter ceiling fan (I don't know the model. It was a mid-range fan as far as price: $109.00)
It may not be the fan making "more" noise when you turn on the lights. It may actually be the bulbs making noise. Incandescent bulbs when operating on a dimmer make a high pitched noise - it is the filament vibrating. Try just the lights without the fan and see if you hear anything.
