2008 Yaris Buzzing - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey guys!

I have very limited car knowledge and I need some help.

My 2008 Yaris Hatchback has been making a buzzing sound for a while now. It almost sounds like there is an RC car in the engine. I feel like the sound is coming from the alternator. Spraying belt dressing on the belt made the sound quieter but it's still quite loud. I wanted to see if you guys have any experience with this because I sure don't.

Also, would this effect my performance? I feel like accelerating is much slower than normal and when I let off the gas on the freeway it slows down drastically.

Here's a video
