Use a rubber hose as stethoscope to isolate the noise and let us know where it is coming from.
Possible areas would be alternator, water pump, A/C compressor, power steering pump and the drive belts.
If it is drive belts related, splash some water onto the belts and note if the noise level changes or goeas away.
