I got this weird sound that just started. I have no idea what it may be. Here is a video, hope you can pick it out. It's kind of gentle whining sound. Reminds me off a sound effect a UFO would make in a cartoon.

No power steering, arms like a boss
Didn't see any UFO's which is a shame
Your belts looked aligned, sometimes they can give an odd whine if something starts running out/fraying.
What does it do as you change the rpm?
What does it do when you depress the clutch?
Nice clean engine bay
Anyone else think with that amount of noise but not a hard knock it might be exhaust related?
Good video also! Always appreciated!

Thanks for checking it out, did you hear it? Ya my arms definitely getting buff with this truck, haha.
As RPM goes up the noise speeds up, clutch doesn't have any affect on it.

a cross between knocking and whooping.
I get the ufo reference, quite apt
Surprised nobody else has commented.
I vote check around your exhaust for a leak, got a mister bottle or something you can spray around to see if something is blowing or sucking?

I hate to say it but, sounds like a rod bearing.

Is that what they sound like when they start to go?
I've only heard the "knock/clatter" when they have gone, lol

Didn't sound like a hard enough "knock" to have been completely screwed.

Thanks for the input Wreck!
Putting those practiced ears to good use
