HI, Scot. That type of noise does not sound familiar to me. Perhaps someone else will chime in on this. In the mean time, if you have a mechanic's stethoscope, try touching it to different parts of the engine (carefully) and see if you can more accurately locate the noise source. A long screwdriver or a one inch dowel works, too, only not quite as good.
Check at the water pump, at the flange where the oil pan bolts to the block and at each accessory, like the alternator or anything else you may have running off the fan belt. Use care near moving parts - as if you haven't heard that all your life!
Personally with the little I know so far, I would suspect something worn and loose in the alternator. Wild guess!
