Scary noise!

today my car developed a loud clicking or rattling noise. i got on it a little bit this afternoon and that's when it started. so i preceeded to "peg it" once and when i did the noise got even louder. i got into my driveway and let it idle and the noise was still there. it's coming from under the hood and it sounds like a belt maybe? sorry so vague but any input would help, thanks!

well the noise is coming from right around the fan belts. obviously it could be anything w/ the engine since it's directly behind the belts. gonna get my neighbor to look at it tomorrow
