This is worthless trying to diagnose a sound over the internet, especially when you can't tell us what area/end/vicinity of the car it is coming from.

Not to sound mean (just realistic), but if you can't figure out where it is coming from, do you think you are capable of repairing it when you do?

Take it to a mechanic. That would be your best bet.

Best of luck!

not the timing belt. it was done about 1000 miles before he bought the car, and retensioned a while back.

i bet you got a pebble stuck in the brake.

Scott,
when do you get back from school? come by one evening or weekend and we can figure out where the noise is coming from.

Well i think i figured out the problem .. and it was a mistake on my part. I check the oil every couple of weeks, and with that I check the power steering fluid because of the leak. However, I just realized that the last time i would have checked the oil, I changed the oil. Due to lack of time I totally forgot to check the power steering fluid reservour. When i looked at it today, it was much lower then it should be. I feel so dumb for not realizing this before haha. I just assumed I did the full routine, nexttime ill be sure to double check.
