PlEASE READ!!

so every time i start my car from cold and when its warmed up it makes a wierd metally/shakey noise (i know not the best description). i took it to a mitsu to get it fixed, which is 190mi away from me, and the fixed somthing and it kinda went away but its back and louder now..if anyone has a clue or knows what it is or has a mechanic friend who can listen to this and think of what it is i would really appreciate some help...thanks heres the vid..this isnt my car but it is 100% th same exact noise..

I think I remember helping out that guy. It sounds like one of the pulleys are rubbing against something or bad bearing on one of them. Take of the belt and spin all of them by hand and see if they make a noise or show resistance. If that checks out fine then check your timing belt for damages.

I would still check. Find out which one is making the noise. They are cheap. Somebody on here will have one for sale I am sure. It will be one less headache.

it gets quiter when you rev it..mostly from the engine being loud....it happens the loudest when the car is started from cold an the rpms drop to like 900 when its warmer....
