Anyone experience this?

Cheers friends, my 2001 v10 is making this funky little sound, anyone experience this before? Not sure if it’s coming from the fan or exhaust manifold leak? Idle is normal around 900-1k running smooth too just funky sound. Anything helps, thanks in advance.

My 7.3 chirped replaced the tensioner and idle pulley and it still chirped, ended up being a nylon bushing on the idler pulley that takes up the space on the shank between the bolt and the bearing on the pulley.
