Update to let you all know, the noise was from bad alternator bearing. The free pulley was not free anymore and bearing were making noise. All gone now, yeee!

I hear a strange ratling engine sound from my 2000 Boxster S

At first I though it was a belt tensioner, the lower one. It was loose, so I change it, but sound is still there.

Can you help finding it?

Here is a youtube video
