Earlier today, I replaced the serpentine belt on a 2008 Camry that is equipped with the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE). While the belt was off, I spun all of the pulleys and noticed that the water pump pulley was making a very unusual sound.
I took a brief video of the noise. The pulley spins smoothly but does have a bit more drag than you would expect. The noise is very unusual and I have never heard anything like it before.

What do you think is the cause of this noise? Bad bearing?
