Pidgeon in my engine bay!

[Chilli]

I havnt got one in my engine bay really but this is the problem...

I have developed a rattle/ squeek on tickover but especially after you rev it up. it sounds mainly like a tentioner but on inspection i just cannot see a problem. the only problem with the noise or any noise is its hard to pinpoint as noises travels across engine bays easily.!

the only way to describe the sound is it sounds like a pidgeon in the engine bay when you let off the accelerator. i have a ramp at work and mechanical knowledge to rectify the problem and probably will be able to locate it eventually but i havnt had time to get it stripped apart yet. just want to check on here if anyone has had the same noise and if they can help pinpoint or narrow down the problem. its hard to see the tensioners and pulley from the engine bay so its one reason i havnt had chance inspect things properly yet.

ive done a search on here but nothing definate as to what it could be.

thanks

Problems like this are much easier to solve with perhaps a sound clip or video - just so we can get a rough idea of the noise.
