funny noise on i30 2001

[chris322]

i have a 2001 i30 with less 38k miles, i just did an oil change a week ago, and i just noticed that my car is making a funny noise under the hood once the car is started. it sounds like a chipmunk is in there. the sound stays the same at idle or while driving at any speed the sound doesnt get louder or speed up, theres no check engine light. i dont know what it is, ani ideas?

Try checking the radiator fans for obstructions. That's the only thing I can think of, at the moment, that would not change at different engine speeds.

well right after i posted this i checked on the car and the noise was gone, but it came back today and it went from a really loud whining noise to a low grind or something but it doesnt seem to effect the performance of the car. when i popped th hood it appears to be coming from the belts or that area. im a take to a shop tomorrow.
