I just wanted to check if this noise is normal. Started hearing it today and I dont remember hearing it previously. Video here:

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Not normal but will be one of the ancillaries that the belt powers most likely. Take the airbox out and work out where it's coming from. Good Luck

When I turn the AC on, the noise dissappears. Will keep the AC running as I don't normally have it on to see if it comes back. So far it hasn't.
POST 6Original post
Always keep AC on. The gas has a lube effect on seals/O rings etc in the systems and if not used these can perish.
POST 7Original post
It might just be the bearings in the aircon pump pulley. When you turn it on it loads up the tension and noise stops , when the pulley is just free spinning it will rumble.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
