Hi arodtone41,

You need to be more specific about the type of noise and where is it coming from. Anyway it is never easy to diagnose abnormal noises and on top of that from cyber space.

I would suspect the noise is from a bad bearing caused by water entry while travelling through the flood. Check the alternator, compressor and any other idler bearings for the noise.
