Rattling Chattering noise
It’* been determined this noise is coming from inside the engine. What would cause a chattering type noise that seems to be somewhere near the front of the engine. Basically only do it at idle and when in gear. And if you remove the belt the noise is gone.
I’m guessing the belt tension on the crank pulley is causing the noise.
a scope put on seemed to be loudest of the oil filter. There was a small amount of metal tiny shaving when I drained the oil recently. This was after changing oil filter 1000 miles ago. I was told that’* normal

Mystery language. Who did the determining and how did they do it?
Metal shavings are not normal for this engine.

Every pulley has been tested with a new pulley. WP AC ALT. The tensioner assembly with a used one and a used pulley on tensioner from my other Buick. I took off the crank HB pulley. Rubber looked like new inside.
could there be anything inside by the oil pump causing this? Someone suggested the spring could. Seems unlikely to me.
