Engine starts and pulls ok, no smoke on start-up or driving. Basically it is just this noise.

As it is difficult to describe I found the same or similar noise on U-tube, but unfortunately without any answer to what it was. So input greatly appreciated;

Does it have any CEL or pending codes? Not sure if a standard obd2 reader shows all the codes so maybe try to find an iCarSoft Por or relevant good reader ?

Since you already tested it without the belt, that helps narrow down the possible causes. At first i thought it may be (any) pulley, water pump or anything closely related
