Default Grinding noise coming from front of car

I just recently bought a 01 ss and i have a grinding noise coming from the front, it sounds like its coming from the ac compressor or a tensioner. Buddy of mine has 02 z28 and his make the same noise but not as nearly as loud as mine. i was wondering if anyone else has this problem

well your not going to get an answer here because your in the wrong forums go to
CHASSIS, SUSPENSION, APPEARANCE and its the first section on there, this is one the best if not the best site to get help for anything on your car
