under acceleration almost like like a light metal on
metal noise coming from the passenger side of the

my car in neutral, and too my suprise even when i
was stationary the noise was there when reved

You can, for a brief period, remove the serpentine belt are rev engine and see if noise is present or not. May be a tensioner or idler pulley. Just don't run motor too long as to let it overheat with water pump not connected.
