Sounds like a playing card in spokes of bicycle.

Hi,

Does the sound change with engine speed? Have you inspected the accessory drive belts to make sure one isn't coming apart?

Take a look at pic 1. I circled the belts I need to be checked. Do this and let me know what you find. Also, if it is possible, record it and upload it for me to hear.

Take care,
Joe
