My bet would be a bearing also. Can they hear a bearing whine? They could use one of those fancy stethoscopes if they can't hear over the engine.

Isn't that part of the HVAC system? I'm about to leave work or I'd check the vacuum diagrams. I think that attaches to one of the pink pods that are part of the HVAC system.
