You might listen in the alternator area. It could have a bearing getting noisy.

Could be any of the non-motor pullies, IE: Alternater, idler, A/C, etc. Most likely the idler or alt. Could just be the belt. Mine makes a bit of noise when the temp gets below 25F and it's new.

Either the belt is slipping or the alt. is failing.
