Yer dump it and tell him to purchase a Subaru. Maybe try 1 of the Mazda forums. Have you had a look in the engine bay to see if something is look/moving. A bit more info might help as well, like did you actually drive the car and did the noise continue or sis you shut it down?

Belts??

626 is East/West right?

try spraying the belts with some CRC or Silicone Spray (or even WD40 i guess)

btw, thats a very broad description
