Assuming oil pressure is ok, got to be up front. Belt, waterpump, belt tentioner. Alternator, power steering pump or air condition pump. Can be any or even 2 of these. You need to get under there while it's doing it with a dowl rod to your ear moving it from one to another(BE CAREFULL).
So many problems .... So little time

Or better kwon as the poor mans stetascope
a big screw driver will also work well
the tesioner pully and there is also another
idler pully just about right in the middle
both around $25 ea unles you get the entire
tensioner than around $70

Check the belt tensioner, the after market tensioners are much better built than the OEM. Also inspect the clutch on your A/C unit. That might be causing the noise.
If it ain't broke, your not trying!
