The way you described this here sounds exactly like the clutch on the A/C when it is rubbing on the pulley. I had this happen on two different Pontiacs of about the same year as your Buick. Does the noise change or go away when you turn on the A/C? Does your A/C work? If the noise goes away when you turn it on, that is probably it...
