Re: pulley noise??
does it do it when a/c is both on or off. Do you think it might be the tensioner. if so try and get some wd40 in there on the bearings if that makes it go away then its the tensioner. also if the noise changes when a/c is on or off the clutch in the a/c compressor might be going bad.

Re: pulley noise??
You can buy a stethescope to help pinpoint the noise, or you can CAREFULLY use a long screwdriver - put metal tip on various parts, and put plastic handle against ear - the vibrations are transferred directly to your eardrum (like a stethescope) and makes pinpointing noises much easier.
