Remove the cat from the fan belt area.
Sorry, couldn't help myself. See James's post about sense of humor.

Try pulling the fan belt off. Fire the engine up for a short time.
If the noise goes away check the water pump and alternator for bad bearings.
If the noise is still there, then you know it is something else, like a
vacuum leak.
