When the lubricants are changed, the sound is reduced, the volume disappears as the speed increases.

Good morning,

Engine sounds are never good.

Can you upload a video of the sound you hear so I can hear what you hear?

I will be better able to help you if I can hear it.

The car is a sister. I have to ride on it to make a movie. Sound like that with a chain break cap. The pulse is that when the pressure drops, it gets loose in the chain and hits the cap. But is there a chain?

No, it is a belt. There is no chain at all. The belt will not give you a metal noise at all.

See if someone can drive with you or see if it will make it at idle.

Okay, first, remove the belt from the water pump and alternator and see if it is still there.

If it is gone, it could be the water pump.

If it is still there, it sounds like it could the idler pulley for the timing belt. That is under the front cover of the engine.
