That's assuming the neighbours cat isn't missing......
It is not the starter for sure, since it makes this noise after the engine starts. Sometimes it will squeel after running for a while. I know it's a tensioner or a idler, but which one is the question. I am going to run it for a while a see if it gets constant which will make it easier to pin point.

Could be the AOS going bad. Email Jake Raby about it. He saved my Democrat (ass).
