remove serpentine belt - restart car and recheck for noise - if noise is gone, then the failure is one of the belt driven items, i.e. A/C clutch, PS pump, fan clutch, idler pulley (2), or alternator

don't drive it any distance without belt, it's just a test

you may be able the turn the belt driven items by hand and discern which bearing has failed
