Default Cranking noise

Hello,

my car is making a cranking noise (i dont know exactly how to explain what kind of sound it is but i will try my best to explain it to you). the sound is like metal cranking noise first of all, not loud but i could still hear it coming from underneath the engine or it could be somewhere in the engine bay. it happens when i drive about 10-20 mph, the rev is somewhere around 1200-1800 rpm, and the steering turns a little bit. it doesn't matter if the A/C is on or off, it still makes the same noise. also doesnt matter if the engine is cold or warm. does anyone have a clue what is it please advise. thank you for your help. btw i have almost 140k on my LS and it's a 95' with Air Suspension - dont know if it would make any diff. i didnt think it was coming from the suspension components anyway.
