It can possible be a pulley or a belt that is creating a noise.

An accessory bearing. Water pump, alternator or A/C compressor. Do we have an idler pulley? It could that, too. My opinion, anyway. Place a very long screwdriver against each accessory and your ear against the end of the handle. It'll be obvious which one is the culprit.
