[V8] Engine Noise?

[AWHdcny at aol.com]

I am also experiencing the same noise from the engine with about the same  
conditions.  I have a '93 V8Q, 150,000 miles.  This noise is  rotational and 
very elusive as to the source.  I am also wondering  what is the cause given 
that, the obvious culprits have been ruled out on my  vehicle.  It is at Audi 
Connection presently for some  upgrades and to check out this 'noise'.  Any ideas 
or solutions would also  be appreciated.

I get this weird noise from the front of the engine that  sounds almost
like a belt is getting tired but not quite that. It doesnt do  it when
the engine is cold, but does when it is warm and or has been ran  for
awhile. Also i can only hear it at low speed, it seems to either  go
away at higher speeds (above 1500RPM) or is drowned out by  the
engine... Its not the lifters because i can hear that on occasion  and
that goes away for the rest of the day after the morning start.  This
noise sounds like a "chush chush " with a touch of "clank" in it  and
sounds like its coming from the front passenger side of the  main
engine block.

Any ideas?
