    Trying to figure out what this noise is. I will give some back ground on the truck
    2019 Tacoma with 96000 KM
    Bought new in 2019
    Sound started at 91000km
    Brought to Toyota 3 times they said they can’t replicate it..
    At idle after engine is warmed up(can be in park or in gear) I am getting a wobbling rotating sound (almost sounds like a helicopter in the distance but in the engine) it’s hard to hear with hood open, much easier to hear inside of the cab. It does not matter if the AC/heat is on or off.
    It does it about 60% of the time.
    If I turn ac on and engine idles up a little bit to kick in compressor the sound gets a little bit faster. But once the engine speed gets above 1000rpm it is hard to hear because of the engine noise.
    Truck still full runs fine. Engine oil is good (had a oil change before it happening and during it happening)
    It is not over heating and there is no visible signs of any leaks.

    Did you check the radiator fan? The only thing in the engine that rotate and makes alot of noise and spin base on engine speed.
