Doesn’t seem to be belt related
Same if Ac is on or off
Gets louder with higher rpms
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Best would be to pull off the belt and hand spin everything from water pump to alternator etc that will give you a good idea on what it is. Would have to agree it does sound like it’s the water pump. Good luck.
