Hi all! I am new here, just bought a well-worn 2007 1.8L Vibe, and for the most part it seems to be working well. The main issue I am facing right now is that there is a annoying noise coming from the front when I accelerate. It seems most prevalent in 1st gear, but it does seem to be audible in 2nd and above albeit much quieter. Generally around the 2500rpm.
I ran the car without the serpentine belt and I was still able to hear the noise, so I don't think its related to that.
Thanks for any help
Here is a video with the sound (you can hear it most clearly at around 19 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYcPPe8EBhE
