Sounds like a failing tensioner to me. However, the best trick is to take a small funnel, attach a hose to the end, then use it as a stethoscope to pin point the noise.

Sounds like timing belt tensioner but could be water pump.

Glad you guys made it out, and nice meeting all of you.
The noise I was having was my alternator. I swapped it out and no more noise. I had no battery light, but did have dimming lights and my heater fan would get really quiet. After revving the engine everything would go back to normal.
