Thank you for the fast response!
But the balancer was change 5000 miles ago because it was wobbling.....
I also tried spraying some wd-40 on the underside of the belt but the sound is still there.... did not even go away
What else you guys think it is?
Can it be the lifters? camshaft?
Or is there anyway i can check if the balancer going out?

Please do not shoot the messenger:
I strong suspect that you've incured a classic LS2 Oil Pump Failure and SMOKED THE CAM BEARINGS!
The exact thing happened to me in my 06 GTO.

Your really need to pull the engine, because your rod and main bearing get priority oiling and I strongly suspect that you may have a bad rod bearing(s).
All is not lost: the rods can be resized, ARP 2000 series rods bolts, regrind the crank, & balance the rotating assembly or

It is not the end of the world!!!

The good news is that you might not to need to tear down the entire engine to fix it. In my case, what happened was the little pin holding the roller in the lifter started moving sideways which restricted it's movement in the bore. The roller got flattened but the cam itself was still fine. Getting the lifter out was quite a challenge however but still doable.

Possibly a bad A/C condenser bearing. My 05 C6 6MT had this noise problem and had the dealer replace my condenser and noise went away.

Do you rev or drive aggressive? Any mods done to the car? Does is start slower than normal or studder before starting at times? Pull the timing cover and check the bolts on the cam sprocket, I had all 3 back out, one was grinding on the cover and broke off, I did have the cam position error code after a few starts.
