With the hood open have someone rev the motor until the noise comes back, make sure you are clear of any moving part, listen for the noise and locate, is it a bearing (high pitch) could it be the belt tensioner? Use a long metal screw driver as a stethoscope hold to your ear and the metal part to any non moving parts or suspect parts. You will be surprised how many noises can be heard this way and you can usually find it
