Yes, I have the audio and it's like a chain/ metal on metal being dragged. I try to post it on here but I guess it's on 4k resolution which doesn't support on here. But yes, the noise is between 1500-2000 rpms after I go above it it goes away but not like permanently just until I go back to those rpms or 20 mph.

Ok. Do you have audio of the noise? Pulleys and belts would be a consistent noise. You are saying it happens at 1500 rpms.

I'll post it on my YouTube and I'll send the link here, give me a sec.

Take off the serp belt and record it again. Does the noise go away?

Yes, they have done that already. I haven't done it now, but before yes. Everything has been replaced except the alternator and a/c compressor, but that works perfectly fine since the clutch is working as it should. The alternator we changed it to see if that was the problem and it wasn't so we put back the original one. I was going to say when I do start up my car since it's push to start, I do hear that metal on metal sound upon starting my car just for that 1 sec. You think it might be cause of the serpentine belt being too long or short?

Well, that kind of leaves the ac compressor. Some thoughts on that:

If a part is making an unwanted sound, that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't actually work properly. If there is a bearing that is on its way out, the entire unit could very well be still working. Also, a particular noise/vibration might make itself heard only at a certain speed/frequency.

Anyway, process of elimination is now pointing to the ac compressor.

Did you ever get a stethoscope?

Nope, I have not gotten one yet but took it to a shop and they told me the a/c compressor was fine that the clutch wasn't worn out? Unless they just bullshiting me.
