When revving in neutral what, if any parts are moving, i'm getting a travelling noise every time i rev the motor.
Come on, give us a bit more info, you never know you might just get a sensible answer.:5bsifone:
Well! it might help if you told us what vehicle, fuel type, auto or manual etc etc.
There's a lot of bits moving about when an engine is running in neutral, what do you mean by a 'travelling noise'??

Firstly Im not a net mechanic. But I do have a v6 and have had plenty of strange noises to locate previously.
Its a bad idea to rev an auto whilst in neutral. Not a finite answer I know. But when having auto problems ever garage or mechanic I spoke to said not to.
When the v6 auto engine is running, when the auto is in neutral or park, the engine is running. Also the input shaft to the auto gearbox is running. Thats about all you can see without taking it apart.
Youll have to listen to where the noise is coming from. Is it the auxiliary drive belt? That drives the air con compressor (if you have air con) and the alternator, power steering pump, plus several other small pulleys.
Also the timing belt is moving. That drives the water pump, cam shafts, main crank shaft, plus some small pulleys.
Is it a rattling or whining sound? Like a bearing failed sound? Does the engine rev at 750 once warm? Does it rev at about 1100 when first switched on when cold? If you have air con, does the problem sound alter when you turn on the air con (air con clutch engages if air con fitted)? Is the big plastic cover over the engine fitted correctly. When the rubber band comes off the rear they bounce up and down causing a rattle.
Is the sound proportional to the speed of the engine revs, or the speed of the car when driving along in gear?
Below is a pic of my v6 auxiliary belt as a guide. Arrow points to the auxiliary drive belt. Second time Ive used this tonight!

Wow, thanks for the reply. I'm sure the noise is'nt coming from any lose covers etc. it seems to be coming from the front nearside of the engine compartment (IS THAT THE AUTOBOX?). A friend has suggested the transmission fluid (lack of) or the torque converter. The engine does indeed idle at 750 when hot and 1100 when cold. Any thoughts???
