I asked a similar question before and I personally have no clue, but a few people from here told me it might be the PCV valve.

I have the same noise coming from my car. I know the difference from the berk and this... not the intake. I just replaced the belt that runs the alternator and it started happening. Is the belt on too tight or too loose?

Or should I plan for a new alternator.
