Default thumping/clapping noise from under the hood

Couple of days ago after my daily driving back and forth from work...which is about 5 miles each way...when i parked my car in my garage i noticed an unusual noise (thumpping/clapping). I popped open my hood and listened to where it was coming from and it seemed like it was coming from around alternator/belt area. when i rev my engine i dont hear anything unusual just when the engine is at idle, i hear it slightly. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Have you been to a performance of Blue Man Group recently? Or maybe Stomp? Maybe the performances are stuck in your engine?!

OK, I don't have any idea, I just thought it was a rather uncommon description for a noise. Do the belts look OK? The only thing I could think of is a part of one of the ribs of the belt is splitting off, so you're hearing that slapping against something. But if that's the problem, I can't explain why you would only hear it at idle, so that's probably not it.
