Water pump and alternator bearings can go bad and the use of a long socket extension against the ear can locate it
https://store.alternatorparts.com/ni...-bearings.aspx
Replacing the alternator with a new or rebuilt one is ifi
The water pump has a weep hole on the bottom side if the seal has leaked into the bearing area
The idler pulley below the A/ C compressor has a habit of seizing up . cheap repair
Post back before stripping the 4 sided long adjustment bolt
The compressor or compressor clutch bearing can be replaced and I think you can remove the clutch without removing the compressor or breaking the freon lines

Your compressor is a Denso 10 PA 15 I believe

Of all the possibilities mentioned, perhaps the easiest to eliminate and longest-lead-time to fix is the damper (harmonic balancer)
Plenty written here on how to mark it and determine if it is an issue or not. Searches for "damper" "crank damper" or "harmonic balancer" should reveal the threads. The fact that the noise stops after a few minutes running leads me to believe that is probably your problem.
