Stick your head under the car, pop the hood, &c and see if you can narrow down where the noise is coming from. A paper towel core or similar held to the ear can help narrow it down even further. Be careful around a running engine - there are moving parts that will hurt you.

Burns should be the least of your problems, unless you get in a big hurry. You won't be grabbing and shaking things like you would when looking for a rattle. The parts that are really hot are putting off enough IR that you will feel the heat before you get too close. Clothing, jewelry, fingers, elbows, &c can easily get snatched by moving parts before you can blink an eye.
