What could this ringing noise be? (Video)
So I was taking a video to show someone how much my engine shook (stock mounts) and noticed this ringing noise. Any opinions on what it could be?You can hear it throught the video for the most part, the very end when the car shuts off it is very noticeable.
Thanks for any advice.

Re: What could this ringing noise be? (Video)
I just looked up some clips of harmonic balancers that have gone bad, and maybe the ones I listed to are completely gone. Mine doesn't sound so much like a clunking. thats not to say that isn't it though... Guess I'll be having someone take a look at it on Monday...
Any other ides let me know.
edit: just went outside to take a look at it, and I couldn't get it to budge at all. Most of what I've read say that you can typically twist it or move it in and out a little bit if it is bad.
double edit: Went out there with a screw driver, and tapped on the water pump pulley. sound virtually just like it, like a bell ringing. Water pump going bad?

Water Pump? A/C Compressor? Idler pulley? Tensioner pulley?
Take the belt off, and grab each pulley, and see if you can move it at all.

Funny enough, I did that before checking the thread again. Definitely the water pump. Something must have fallen into, or broken off, and is inside the pulley for the water pump. What it is, I don't know yet, no time to work on it now. Now to decide if I want to tear it apart myself, or take it to a shop.
