Noisy Engine at Idle After Running a Few Minutes

Help me figure out this noise? What are your thoughts? Took this video with the water pump in view, but mostly, it is for the sound. Video is only a less than 30 seconds.

Did you have the a/c on? It sounds like the a/c compressor kicking on.

Get a mechanics stethoscope and determine if the 'noise' is from the clutch/pulley or the compressor's body.
