It could be the water pump too, mine sounded like that when first started the car and it does not do that every time (a loud chirping sound identical to the bad fuse blower motor). Locate the source of sound first. If it's near the upper radiator (as opposed to near the fuse box), your water pump is going bad. Replace it before it grinds out your timing cover.
