- It seems to come directly from that part of the engine compartment, from what I can tell from having driven my car quite a bit in different scenarios where objects around the car help reflect the sound from one part more than another
- It started the day the S/C kit was installed. It may be worse with the new "9psi" pulley, and/or recently; I can't be sure.

I'd like to check the torque on everything related just to be sure...
just one note, is the pulley bolt nice and tight??
