Water pump or crank pulley

Meir,
Thank you. I hope so and I'm sure I will with all the help here. This morning I noticed the noise went away when the engine got hot. I had just changed my trans oil to Porsche but know that it has nothing to do with it. Next is the mount. So, going to take all these advice and hopefully I can identify it.

also make sure you don't have a funky dude with a blue shirt, hiding behind bank 1, and making funny noises

(just to cheer you up)

Bala, if you're talking about a little buzzing sound that is present for a couple of minutes when you cold start the engine, that would be a noisy secondary air pump. I wouldn't worry about it.

didn't think about that.
the secondary air pump will sound like a blower, and will work for X minutes when the engine is cold.
on the other hand, you should be familiar with that sound long time ago.
you have your car for what, year and a half now?
maybe it will be a good idea to post a video/audio clip before you take the car apart.
