Any ideas? I watched the sticky on this page, but somehow I think mine is different. Perhaps is the quality of the phones/cameras that distorts the noise?

At about 13secs. it sounds like something is touching your one of your belts.

How many miles? It could be an idler. When you get your timing belt done make sure you change all the idlers (2, I think). It's worth it. I just did mine and the idler that's hard to get to behind the power steering pump was bad. It had a similar sound to yours.
Good Luck!!!

It has about 40k miles. Do you know how much it will cost to replace it? Thanks for the info.

I think people have been getting quotes for $400-$500 in labor plus parts. Figure +/- a $1000. I did mine myself. I'd definitely not do it again without a lift, cherry picker, engine stand, torch, etc. Basically, I won't do it again at home. I'd only do it at a shop with the right tools.

Even though your car has 40k miles, due to time the belt may need replacing as well as all the other parts in that area, t-belt, balance belt, tensioner, idlers, water pump, etc.

Good Luck!
Oh, I'm not a fan of the dealership service department. I'd find an independent shop that specializes in Evos!
