Have anymore detials, like where it is coming from, or what you are doing when it happens?

It could be almost anything.

First off...

NEVER spray your belts with WD40. It causes the belts to become brittle and break..

1st - Get two new belts if you sprayed them both with WD40
--- If the new belts don't solve your problem, your next step would be to start with your idler pulleys. They're pretty cheap and easy to replace..

Hope this helps..

yeah i know what ur talking about ive heard it a couple times when i start my car up and it goes away when i rev then goes all the way away after like 30 sec of driving. it sounds like it is coming form the differential. it usually happens when i need to change my oil it seems like, but it isnt a constant thing just like once in awhile it will pop out of no where
