General Noise.... water pump?
hi, petrol or diesel..??
could well be the bearing that the cambelt is tensioned by is faulty, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-F...262209?hash=item4d3119e441:g:x5AAAOSweW5VUgt0

yeah i would say that sounds most likely to be cambelt tensioner.
carefully spray a little "hairspray" onto the belts contact surfaces..see if the noise changes
do 1 belt at a time,
have you tried removing the belt from alternator..??

1-Yes, I do removed alternator belt.... no effect.
2-The sound coming around Timing belt. One month ago i removed flywheel protector which is positioned next to oil sump because of oil sump leaking.
Is possible that sound coming from flywheel protector if this protector is not placed properly?

possible - YES
:idea: remove that guard..start engine
IF it's all quiet up + down rev range, then remount it but with a little silicone sealant as a "bed",

well certainly starting to run out of things this could be lol.. i presume you have tried holding the clutch in while stationary so the box is disconnected form engine, if noise is still there it kinda removes any bearings inside the box as being the culprit. Could be the water pump as you first thought - considering how cheap they are and how easy timing these engines is then why not just change it, you know its done then and you need not worry about water pumps for a good long time.
well, when he checked it all he can really of done is turn it by hand and checked it felt like it span smooth. Not quite the same as having belt tension on it and spinning at engine speeds. Not saying it is the water pump, just that its possible - i would say in future, if you change the timing belt on anything, just change the water pump, any belt tensioners and idlers at the same time, i mean you (or your mechanic) is in there anyway it just makes sense to do it then.
Oil pump.... Mmmmm, i guess its a possibility but i'd say very unlikely - not ever heard of one failing ever on these engines so i highly doubt it, but possible? yes i suppose so.

Seems like there are 2 noises... it seems generally a bit tappy, and then there is the lighter, "chirping" noise.
I guess it is the second one you mean... but in general things do not sound very smooth.
Normally to identify a noise you touch something like a big screwdriver on different placed, and put your ear against it to hear the vibration.
I would check the valve clearances since it is an old engine now, and you adjust the clearances by changing shims. But the noise you are investigating is something rotating with a bearing, like a pump, pulley or (if connected) alternator.
Also some noises can be amplified by the gearbox bellhousing, there is (I think) a soft aluminium cover plate that can be bent and cause contact inside. But I think it is at the other end of the engine from your noise.
