High pitched whine ????

[woodrow59]

No, it's not my ex-wife !!!!!

Started yesterday, at first I thought it was a new engine noise coming thru the radio (yes I listen to AM), turned off radio and the noise was still there.

Checked it out today and sounds like its coming from front of engine. First thought is water pump is going out. I've never had one go out so I don't know what it sounds like when it's gettin' ready to go.

It kinda sounds like a turbo on a semi (but not near as loud),,,, except it doesn't change too much with engine speed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!
