Yes, a timing belt tensioner can make noise if it is worn out or malfunctioning. Common sounds include rattling, squeaking, or grinding, which may indicate that the tensioner is not maintaining proper tension on the timing belt. If left unchecked, a noisy tensioner can lead to belt slippage or damage, potentially causing engine performance issues. It's advisable to have it inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent further problems.

Assuming you have already checked the obvious, the serpentine belt tensioner and belt. A common cause of the squeal in 4.0 Ford engines is the camshaft sychronizer (takes the place of the distributor on DIS, distributorless ignition systems). It sounds very similar to a belt squeal and is often mis-diagnosed as a belt being loose or worn. The noise can be intermittant, but if the noise is there when you have the hood up use a simple mechanic's stethoscope to help pinpoint the source of the noise. == == The most likely culprit is a serpentine belt or the belt tensioner. Try replacing the serpentine belt. If the noise persists, replace the belt tensioner. See the related article "Serpentine belt and Tensioner FAQ for the Ford Explorer all models"
