lol take the belt off and see if it has play. my didn't make that noise but it would leak coolant front the weep hoe but such a slow rate it was hard to find. after taking the pump off i saw that it was grinding with the aluminum peace behind it. so i decided to swap it out. i bought a new one from auto zone or advance for like 35 bucks. with just a socket and wrench set u can do the job yourself. its real easy to do.
idk man my car didn't make that noise. but it could be ull never know. have u had some one rev it to 2k from the inside while ur listening over the engine? with a stethoscope or a 2ft 3/4 hose with one end at ur ear and the other going around the motor finding the noise. just try finding where it comes from.
Mine never made noise when it was going out, just leaked, like they normally do. Sounds like something is vibrating, seems like it dose it at certain RMPs. But yes changing the water pump is very easy, make sure to get all the old seal off the block before making (if you use that make a gasket in a tube stuff, I did.) a new seal, or it wont seal good and will leak.

Make sure your heat shields are not loose. That sounds like it is happening at a very specific harmonic. Make sure all your bolts are nice and tight and that you don't have any wires vibrating anywhere. If all else fails, you could have gotten some change or something metallic under your carpet and it is vibrating on the metal.
Believe me on that last part, I've found a few dollars in change under my carpet and I haven't even pulled it all the way out yet. Previous owner must have had it in the cubbyhole instead of using the coinholder in the armrest...
