The car makes noise mostly when still...in drive, idle, and reverse the most
but not when in netural. Once I get driving down the road it still makes the
noise for a while and quiets down after the car gets warmer but is still
making the noise. It sounds like a grumbling noise when sitting in the car
but when I have the hood open it sounds like a vibration. When I go faster,
vehicle speed, the noise is hardly there at all. With the engine speed, just
sitting still, the sounds fades away a little bit as well. The noise seems to
be coming from the belt/alternator area but I can't seem to pin point it.
