I had my 5 in the shop a couple of weeks ago. It sounded like the bearings in my alternator or A/C compressor or something was going out.
They called back and said that they couldn't replicate the sound, and I told them that they had to let it set, because once it warmed up the sound went away.
They kept it overnight and called me the next morning saying they found the sound (No DUH!) and it was the tensioner.
They replaced it and while they were at it replaced the bushings that made the bad sounds while going over bumps.
I really hope this is the last thing that goes bad for a while, because I just spent the weekend in St. Louis with my son (hockey tourney) and rolled over 50k miles.
