Got back from driving my corvette pretty hard and now I got this noise that sounds like a gremlin being strangled in the engine bay. What is this noise and have any of you experienced it? As well as how do I fix it?

I would take off the main belt to see if the issue is there or the AC ?? Then you could also spin idlers to see if they are bad ???

Get yourself an automotive stethoscope. Lisle makes a good one. They are great for isolating noises like that. Then you don't have to hassle removing belts and running the engine.

Almost sounds like one of the belts is intermittently touching some part of the engine.

Do you see any wobble from the harmonic balancer?

Sounds like an infestation of ferrets.

That is a weird noise.

You could try removing the serpentine belt and running the car for a few seconds and see if you still have the noise. Would need to do this with a cool car since the water pump won't be turning and heat will build up after just a minute or so. But this would be enough time to see if there is still the noise. Then go from their trying to elimintate the noise.

My second cousin, Billy-Bob, uses a 12-ga to stop ferret infestations. Gets rid of the little critters, but gosh dernit, ya always have to fix a lof of stuff afterwards.
