The water pump bearing.is the most likely candidate.

Alternator belt slipping as a guess, you need to adjust it or if its old
then purchase a new belt. You can get a spray to spray on to stop it
slipping but its not the ideal solution.

Does this happen worse when you first start, then reduce later? Is it worse
when you rev the engine?
If so then it is almost certainly a loose alternator belt. Either tighten
it, or replace it.
Always worse in winter as the load on the alternator is higher.
