Took off the belt and noise stops. replaced both idler and tensioner pulleys, and alternator. My next guess is the water pump??? Maybe just the belt??? The belt is not cracked or showing any signs of wear. any help is apreciated!!

it is a whirring screeching noise. got a short belt to bypass the p/s pump and it is still doing it. so it has gotta be the water pump

ok removed water pump and pulled back plate off and there is no sign of wear. when I spin by hand there is no bearing noise. this was the only thing I hadnt replaced and I am beginning to second guess the water pump. someone please help!!!
