Motor Sounds Funny

So I was lookin at my motor today and I noticed a sound. It was a sound I never heard before it wasnt the usual injector tick tick. It sounded more like a swoosh swoosh kinda sound so i put my ear to see were it was coming from. First I thought it was coming from the cam gears then I put my ear closer and noticed it was comin from the belts / alternator area? Im kinda worried dont want there to be anything wrong with my car. Is this normal or is there something wrong?

So I did some searching I guess it is the belts or sumtin. Should I take it to the stealership and check it out ASAP even though there 2 hours away? Will it mess my car up in anyway? Or is it ok and is just a annoying sound? Info plz

Make sure you return your car to stock first
