At this point ive replaced everything that spins by the accessory and timing belt lol
When my fan pulley was going I was able to put a stethoscope on the passenger side of the engine in that area and I could clearly hear it whining/ sort of grinding away ....if you remove your accessory belt and the noise goes away then at least you know it's not timing related.
How much the fan spins is going to depend on how hot or cold the fluid in the fan clutch is ... when it's cold it should spin a little easier than when it's warm it should feel more locked up ( someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that)
My current noise seems to be related to timing belt idler, when I remove my accessory belts the noise is still there, so it's got to be timing belt related. but I'm kind of just buying some time on that one because it's not all that bad yet and goes away once warm.
