If a water pump is making noise, it is typically due to a bad bearing o r a worn-out impeller. In some cases, you can attempt to lubricate the bearings as a temporary fix. If the issue is due to the pulley o r belt causing excess strain, these components may need to be replaced. However, a noisy water pump is usually a sign that it is nearing failure, so replacement is generally recommended before it stops working entirely.
