Do you only notice this sound only at Idle?  If so, then one of your belts 
might be loose.  I had this on my rocco.  The A/C belt was not loose enough 
to squeal, but at idle it was loose enough to make this horribly loud 
vibrating noise, It was oscillating back and forth in the center of the belt. 
Then I tightened the belt, then the noise stopped.
