HELP! - Whats this noise?!

Recommended Posts

Roughly 1 month ago this noise started on my 86 what i can only discribe as metalic squealing.. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or simlar and could help shead some light. This is a very intermitten noise also, as an example some days it would do it a bit some days not at all and some all the time.

The issue:
Just above 2.5k rpm like 2.6k - 2.7k there is what i can only describe as a squealing noise coming from the front end of the car when the car is in motion. When the car is stood still and the same 2.6k rpm is applied the noise isnt as apparent... it definitely isn't the brakes as I have just had them cleaned up, the gearbox feels fine no slips ect.. and the engine feels and sounds fine. Acceleration and deacceleration is fine and no issues when turning ect.. 

Whats ive done already to find it and get rid of it!

  • had the brake stripped down cleaned and put back on.
  • Had the clutch changed (Needed doing anyway)
  • check all fixings under the car all tight.
  • i Dont have any heat sheilds on the exhaust.

The 2 videos are the best i could get of the noise any help is appreciated!

Can’t really hear anything in there.

Check for any contact between the manifold on the metal undertray?

Possible noisy tensioner or alternator?
