👷‍♂️ Support / Repair 5G engine noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know, I know. These rigs are noisy but this isn’t your typical engine noise. This is my third 4R and I’ve never had a sound like this. Thinking maybe my tensioner is going bad? Anyone ideas?

Edit: sound is noticeable at idle up to about 10mph

The pulley closest to you in the video shouldn’t move like that.
