I have noticed the noise doent occur when the A/C is off. Does this lead anyone to hazard a guess? Appreciate the pointers, Dave

I would thor the AC and make sure teh clutch is engaged (center is turning) and visually inpect the compressor. Internal bearings and the clutch engagement could be grabbing if its worn. Also check other components on your serpentine belt.
