A noise in front of the engine of a 1997 Ford Aspire could be caused by several factors, including a failing or loose accessory belt, worn-out pulleys, or issues with the alternator or Power Steering pump. Additionally, a malfunctioning timing belt or a problem with the engine mounts might contribute to the noise. It's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to accurately diagnose the source of the noise. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues from arising.
Check the belts. The most common cause of squealing is a worn or loose belt on the front of the engine.
The ticking noise in a 1995 Aspire when cold is often due to the lifters or valves not getting enough oil circulation as the engine starts. When the engine warms up, the oil thins and flows more easily, reducing or eliminating the noise. Additionally, it could be related to exhaust leaks or components like the timing belt tensioner. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, can help minimize such noises.
Engine running hotter then 220 degrees can cause valvetrain noise. Bad fuel can also cause valve noise / PINGING sound. Ignition timing to high / Advanced to far, can also cause engine noise.
A bad harmonic balancer can cause a knocking noise. The harmonic balancer doesn't actually produce the noise, but it can cause the noise in the engine.
The cause of the whining noise in the front end of a 2004 supercharged Monte Carlo, especially during cold weather, is the idler pulley. This is located at the driver's side of the engine between the alternator and a/c pump.

A bad compressor belt can cause a whistling noise while running the air conditioner. A bad engine can also cause this noise.
Wheel bearings will cause a rumbling noise consistent with the revolution of the tires. Your highlander is doing a computerized check of systems. If your noise is like mine, when you start the engine and pull away you hear this noise and then it goes away.
Get Some WD40 on the front axle and the back one or check the engine!:P
replace hub or wheel bearings.
Your radiator fan. It may have a thermostat on it that lets it turn on and off to cool the water in the radiator when needed. They can be quite noisy.
