Default Weird engine noise- help

My NA YB has a weird whirring noise at the front. Sounds like its near the aux shaft.
Rebuilt very recently and I thought the cam bearings were the cause so I changed them. Noise is still there. It's only there when the engine is idling, twiddle the throttle and it goes away, creeps back in as engine revs die down. Can anyone suggest what it may be??
Cheers
