do you a cold air intake of any kind?

Mine sounds like the EGR hiccups... but I'm not too worried...unless I need to be. :o

While it's running , -or after you shut down? My EVR plays a tune after I shut the motor off lol. Sounds like a Kazoo or something?

If you suspect any of the pulleys, remove the belt and spin them by hand. Depends what you mean by clacking.. They have been known to make more than just a squeak. I had a tensioner that used to make a god awful noise, can't even describe it. Also had an alternator that sounded like a supercharger. Also check your AC pump clutch.
