Sonds like it is pulley, noise comming from passenger side, and i can pinpoint that to timing belt cover...

I can't be without car, and at the same time i'm scared to drive it, to make things worse.

Can somebody give me a clue what that noise might be ?

Thanks
WRX Strange noise, seems like idler pulley - YouTube

Sounds like a bearing is bad. Possibly your water pump. What year is the car and how many miles on it?

Did this just start all of a sudden out of nowhere, or did you hear any noises before this? Does the sound change with RPM or is it constant?

2002, 107000 miles, rebuilt engine, rebuilt transmission, all stock.
Noise started this morning out of nowhere. No check engine, no overheating, just this stupid noise, and after i warm up the car it goes away for 90 %.

How hard it is too check passenger side pulleys ?
What am i looking to spend if it is bearing that's bad ?
