Noise - please help ID

It just started yesterday. It's the sound that comes intermittently but you can't miss it. Does it sound like the fanbelt?

Hard to tell from the sound clip. Almost sounds like belt squeal.

Best bet is to get your head under the hood and listen to see if you can pinpoint exactly where the noise is coming from.

I agree but it sounds more like a bearing to me; removing the A/C belt would eliminate 2 possibilities.

No not yet - I am planning on having it looked since I am due for an oil change next week. It's weird, it comes and goes at random times. I am almost sure it's some kind of belt...I hope

Will post when updated

Thanks everyone

Defiantly sounds like a bearing. Sounds almost like the throw-out bearing. Is your car standard transmission? If so, Does it make a difference when clutch pedal pushed in or out?
