Could be alternator bearings, water pump, aircon.

Try a large screwdriver, handle in your ear, sharp end CAREFULLY placed on each item. It will help you isolate which is loud.

 

Look at the belt side on, is it rubbing against the timing belt or pulley cover?

 

thanks fellas ill have a look and try with the screwdriver
