Rattling/clattering sound from AC compressor/power steering area?

Hi,

I've noticed this noise for some time now. Sounds like its coming from the general area of the AC compressor and power steering pump yet it might not be one of them. The noise is always there and sometimes worse than others. I tried to ignore it for awhile but last night the noise was a lot louder than usual.

I did replace the AC compressor and Power steering pump awhile back, who knows maybe I screwed something up during installation.

I did use a listening tool on both the power steering pump and AC compressor but I couldnt locate the source of the noise. It sounds like its coming from inside something but it could be something external too.

Have you guys heard a sound like this before? Any ideas on what it could be?

Thanks!

Heres a video of it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOzGU...ature=youtu.be
