strange knocking coming from the engine...

Ok i'll try to explain....
I've got a 2000 9-3 base with about 71k miles on it.
I'm using mid to high grade gas, defintely not the low octane stuff.
only seems to occur at idle when car is in gear or when I'm slowing down approaching a stop, and it's intermittent
does not increase with rpms and does not seem affect engine performance or the sound of the engine when driving
sounds like it may be coming from the passenger side of the engince compartment
does not seem to be affected by braking
Sounds like a rapid dull knocking/rattle
I'm concerned that it may be related to a belt pulley or something else that could be loose or worn. Anybody experienced this? I'll probably just take it to my Saab guy but htought I'd post first. Thanks.
Brice
