I just checked all of these. Pulled the belt off and spun each by hand.
After spinning the idler pulley, it has a small clicking noise. Not sure
if that would be it or not, as I'm not able to spin it fast enough and
consistently enough to emulate engine speed.
I also spun the alternator and it had a grinding noise to it. Didn't
feel right but again, not sure if this is it or not. I may go to the
local parts store tomorrow and see if they will let me spin a new
alternator by hand just to check.
Water pump seemed fine, so did the A/C and power steering pump.
Thanks,

Yes, that's it. Water pump bearing first guess, alternator front bearing
second. After the bearing warms up enough, it quiets a little.
