The power steering pump is my guess. Mine was loud at first, but it seems to have gotten a lot better.
Time for some DIY diagnostics: Get some 1/2" diameter plastic hose ...about 2 ft. Insert a small funnel in one end.Hello,
I got my Grenadier Fieldmaster few weeks back from Dubai dealer, the car is amazing on-road and off-road, except for one issue bothering the comfort of enjoying the drive.
I have a continues noise coming from the engine, the noise never stops even while parked, driving slow or fast and during off-road, the dealer service center says all Grenadiers has the same noise.
Is anyone experiencing such noise?
You can hear the noise in the attached video.

Open the "hood". Remove the engine cover...(it pulls off by hand) and start the engine and let it idle. Put one end of the tube to your ear and use the funnel end as a "stethoscope" and see if you can isolate the location of the noise more accurately...beware of moving parts!!!
(If you think it may be the serpentine belt, put a very light spray of belt anti squeal on it to see if that stops the noise...)

Mine is clearly the power steering pump. It goes away after placing in park for about 10 seconds. If you touch the steering it happens again for about 10 seconds or continues if you keep moving steering wheel.A trick I've used for years to distinguish belt noises from pulley or pump bearing issues is to give the belt a few second shot of WD40 or other very light lubricant while the engine is ticking over at idle. (LPS 1 is another option.) Unlike dedicated belt lubricant it will dissipate in a few minutes. If it's the belt squealing do to misalignment or other issue, the sound will return soon enough. If the sound fails to stop after spraying the lubricant you likely have other issues, though with a badly worn belt the sounds may persist. I save the belt lubricant until after the diagnosis.
I see some here have mentioned the induction system as a possible culprit. You could try wiggling some of the plastic intake components around to see if there are gaps or odd connections causing the sound. I'd even remove the air filter briefly to see if that changes anything.
