Water pump? im pretty sure its my water pump thats making a terrible noise, well i hope its that. Was at about 180 degrees and sitting at a light and i heard the noise coming from the water pump area. not a 100% sure and the video i just shot kinda sucks. take a listen and let me know what you guys think it might be.
now for some reason the sound goes in and out on the video but its constant when the car is on

Could be any of these: water pump, A/C compressor clutch, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, PS pump.
A mechanics stethoscope and 5 minutes will tell you which it is.

Damn, thats sounds and looks like a club I was at in Miami this past weekend.
I really don't hear what you're talking about.
If its a squeak or churp somewhere......take the serpentine belt completely off, start the engine for a minute and rull out an internal engine issue if the noise is NOT there.
Then I would take the a/c belt off...then put the serp belt back on and start it up. Rule out the A/C pulleys, compressor and tensioner....if the noise IS STILL there.
I've never heard of a water pump making noise. Probably a pulley or a tensioner.
