It's making noise on the same side of the water pump and the alternator.

Good morning,

Can you upload a video of the noise so I can hear it?

I attached a diagram for you. I would remove the drive belt and make sure the noise is gone.

If it is, then spin the alternator and the pulley and see where the noise is coming from.
