(never mind - I posted this before I read the OP give the more recent update)


could it be the AC compressor smacking around and around with a broken/stuck clutch? def doesn't sounds like air filter. Take the compressor belt off (if you aren't using compressor/AC at all maybe just cut the belt off.)

sounds kinda cool though (but I agree not healthy)
