try to isolate the noise better.....

It could be the a/c pulley & bearing, especially if you have a rebuilt compressor. Have you tried putting one end of a rubber hose to your ear, and moving the other end in the vicinity of the noise to try to isolate it better?
If it is the a/c pulley, the noise will lessen or disappear if the a/c clutch is engaged. This is an easier repair job than the water pump too, except that the parts can cost more: no new or aftermarket pulleys are available, so you might need to get a used compressor.
