I just had my timing belt, water pump, and pully tensioner replaced a couple hundred miles ago. I just noticed that there is a rubbing/whirling noise coming from the passenger side, behind the plastic engine cover that sits just behind the serpentine belt. Does that make sense?

I first thought it was the serpentine belt rubbing against the plastic fan shroud, but no luck. The noise is not constant, it makes that 'rubbing' sound about 2 times a second at idle but increases with speed as the RPM's increase. (see why I thought it was related to the belt?)

Have you guys got any idea of what could be causing this?

Bring it back to whomever changed your belts. Something is not right.
