Noise

Noticed a couple of weeks ago but wasnt to bad. My wife is drivig my car to work tis week so I havent heard it run really. Well she just got home and I heard it and a lot louder. Sounds like a squeaky belt (almost) but from behind the engine. While running, if I open the hood I cannot really hear it but if I get down and listen behind the front tires, I can really hear it.

Anyone know what this could be?

M6 or A4?

Muffler belt?

Vibrating heat shield? Sounds can be tough to track down.

So just track down loose things and tighten and check if its gone?

Start looking things over and maybe have some friends listen as well.

as said above it is very hard to track sounds. Especially in the drive train because the sound will travel from front to back. Just try to get it on a lift or get under it and see if there are any obvious parts that are loose or bent hitting something. If not just start in one spot and work your way until you find something. Good luck.
