weird noise on cold starts
Started really out of nowhere, I haven't had time to take the car to brothers to get a few things looked at including this, so I'll see what you guys think this could be for the time being.
On a cold start there is a noise I can only describe as like, with a drawbridge where there is a guy turning the handle around to open and close the bridge... It would be the noise that the chain makes when hes doing it. Nice description right?
Anyways, it goes away after the car idles/drives for 5-7 minutes. I looked under the hood and listened where it was coming from and sounds like its from the right side of the engine bay near the belts. I have had plenty of belt problems and this doesn't sound near to one of those issues I've had before.

check your pulleys, make sure they are tight, i had a wierd noise because my water pump pulley wasnt tight. sounds wierd but worth a try.
