It’s been happening recently not sure if it normal, been looking everywhere I could seeing if anyone else had this problem or if anyone might know what it is. It’s a type of growling noise not so much as a grinding noise. You can hear it standing outside of course, but also from inside the cab.

Could be the water pump.
I had to replace mine and it was a similar noise. Is the noise present right at start or does it kick up in a few after the engine is running?

It’ll kick on after a few moments after start up and it’ll continue on even at stop lights, when it’s idling and being parked. It started off slow but over time it’s more present and noticeable.

Does the tone or frequency increase and decrease with RPMs?

While driving it’s not noticeable, but at low speeds in city driving it’s noticeable. I saw a video after the water pump was mentioned and I hear the same noise that the video was showing, I’m pretty sure that is my issue
