...and let me guess: You also sometimes hear engine pinging.

A common problem. The authoritative solution:

Interesting. I got the pinging side of the problem (but never did get a CEL). In any case, the isolator bolt problem is common on this engine. It's a reasonable DIY job.

Noisy pulleys are another question! Get a mechanic's stethoscope (cheap at Harbor Freight) to track down exactly where the noise is coming from.
