kill the engine, spin the fan by hand. chances are your fan is hitting something. I had the same noise, mine was hitting my harmonic balancer, which i found out was bad. Later, after replacing the HB, the fan started making the noise, and next thing i knew, the fan went through the radiator because the shop didnt tighten down the fan pulley bolts.
