Quick Listen: What's this engine noise?

[supers]

Anyone want to chime in with what they think this might be? It sounds like it's coming from the outside of the front of the engine, around the pulleys.

Thanks in advance!

It's interesting that the stereo microphones on my phone seem to think it's coming from the left (power steering pump). I recently replaced that.... it might be overfilled a tad... but I wouldn't suspect that to be the issue.

Take of the drive belts and run it

Belt slap on the alternator belt. You can see it on the lower left of the water pump pulley.

Thanks for the reply! I had the idea, reinforced by Scott06, to take the belts off and run it. Will report back for others' reference.
