Anyone know what noise this is?

Noise coming from the front left while driving especially when on bumpy roads. Thought something with suspension but then around 3-4 times I’ve heard it while at a light so thinking possibly with a pulley or tensioner. Let me know what you think.

Can’t post a YouTube short vid in here so just click the link

It was hard to hear it could be a tension-er but it may be something loose and rubbing. Start the car and look under the hood, I am leaning towards something being loose.

Always find it difficult to assess a sound through an audio recording compared to being there, but (as far as I can tell) I experienced a similar kind of noise. The culprit was the belt for the air conditioning compressor slipped slightly and was basically running on the rim of the wheel. But again, just guessing as could not exactly make out the sound.

Kinda hard to tell, but it sort of sounds like a belt/pulley issue.

It’s just hard to tell as when I have it parked and open the hood to listen the noise is not there. 99% of the time only when driving.

How can I tell if a pulley is making noise or is bad?

that's why I don't think it's a belt or pulley issue it sounds more like something is loosen and making more of a rubbing sound. Can you shut car off and push on body panels and suspension?

Finally got a chance to look under the hood and moved around a few things. I saw a little piece of the cold air intake bracket was kinda moving a bit so tightened it down and only other thing I moved was the hid ballast that was just chillin on metal.
But I’m guessing it was the bracket for the intake.

Thank again y’all.
