The other noise may be a bad bearing on one of the belt tensioner pulleys. If you can remove the belts then you can spin the pulleys to see if they are rough and making noise, or you can even start the engine for a minute without the belts to see if the noise goes away. If the noise goes away, then it's the external belts and/or tensioner pulleys making the noise. If the noise is still there without the belts installed, then it's coming from the internal cam chain mechanisms.

ok thx. ya as for that noise when it was running, I think it would be a pulley 2. I had the same problem with my 94 sunbird parked right next to the altima outside... only reason im not using it now is the tint is supposedly "1%" as said by the cadillac inspection people, and I dont feel like driving to carencro (30 or so mins away) to get it passed inspection w/ illegal tint.
im using a 99 silverado v8 that drinks gas like it does air. threw 60 or so dollars and ina week its GONE
I need my altima back!!
