What is this noise... SC or tensioner maybe?

Hey guys,

I have this noise coming from my engine bay and can't figure it out. Definitely does not sound normal to me. But then again I just picked up the car so could be anything. It's loudest on the front passenger side, close to the belts. I'm going to be doing allot of work on the car in the next month or two, so whatever this is I can fit it into the schedule, just want to get it taken care of.

Here's the link, you can't see it but it's the front right or front passenger side of the car.

Thanks,

Explain a bit more.....heard the noise, does it also happen only after a cold start or even after driving 10 miles or more, it's still there?

Mine 04 S kinda sounds like that. I think the mic on the camera is projecting the sound more than it probably sounds in person.
