today was a wicked bad sonow day and didn't hear it in the morning but after class i had the car stated from my class and when i came to my car i heard a somewhat loud sound. well actually it sounded more like a metal tapping sound first i thought my engine was going to crap out, i opened the hood and sounded like it was cumming from by the alternator. but when i switch the heater off it went away and the car was quit with the engine running as usual. but i had the heater on coz it was clod the car ran fine and after the engine got hot it went away. is it something i should be worried about?
