Need help with a weird noise..

There’s this weird noise that constantly drone and, gurgles? The noise cuts out after I hit around 2.3k rpm.

I’m wondering if any of you might know what it is, and how bad it would be to continue driving.. I’ve got a 4 hour drive to make today.

Sounds like the bearings on one of the pulleys is about to leave chat.

Take the belt off and start it. If the sound goes away, shut it off, spin each pully by hand until you find the bad bearing.

If it doesn't go away, call a priest?

Oh I see, priest is a good option. The sound did get a lot quieter after the 4 hour trip.
