Can you identify the position of aircon pump from this photo, basically bottom front of engine forward of the crankshaft pulley, it will have the two aircon pipes going to it.
Generally if noise changes when air con turned on or off that would confirm it.
Often the clutch in the pulley fails, squirting oil into the pulley clutch may help, but not always and often the whole pump has to be replaced , obviously the air gas needs to be collected and replaced when doing the job.
I assume air con is working as they can be noisy if empty of gas and lubricant, but by that time probably too badly damaged.
If you don't use air con and noise is coming from there, it may be possible to fit the shorter drive belt from a non aircon model and remove the aircon pump.
