Sounds to me like it could be the water pump, however, take it to Autozone and borrow their "Stethoscope" tool. You can take that and touch the mounting bolts for each individual pulley to rule out one of the pulleys being bad. As you go through them, you will be able to tell if the noise is coming from one of them. Be VERY CAREFUL when doing this. You do NOT want to get caught in the belt or anything. But it isn't hard. Just touch the center bolt on each pulley while running, that will rule out everything on the front of the engine.

It is hard to tell, but I do not here any real problem sound. Bad Bering somewhere or maybe just something rubbing....any chaffing on your belts? Might be something inside...so hard to tell...think simple and move from there ..

Why not pull the belt, then start the engine to see if its the engine , if not then go and check the pullies, to see if any bearings are bad.
