Let me know if you find out anything helpful and I'll do definitely a very annoying sound .
I've got a similar sound coming from my '03 the source just from looking under the hood/car.

I'm considering a new/used vehicle within the next 6-12 months.
I have a PT Cruiser which has been a reliable and incredibly convenient car for the most part.
The only thing I'd change is that I wish it got better mileage.
So in researching crossovers...
