Could be a bad tensioner bearing, I bought one last Friday and put it on and it made more noise than the one I had to replace. Checked the box and it said made in China, took it back and got the guy found one made in Israel so I put it on and all was good.

it's just cold, like everything else. Heats up and then it's good to go
