Check to see if it is the AC compressor cycling. If it isn't, remove the serp belt and see if the sound stops. NOTE: Only run the engine without the belt for a few seconds to listen. It will overheat if you run it too long.

If the sounds stops with the belt off, spin all pulleys to see if any have a bad bearing.

Let me know what you find.
