grinding noise from engine when idle

So another question.. just parked and i hear a slight grind/whirl when idle.
The fan is fine as it comes slowly on and slowly off, it seems right inside the motor. I have 78K miles on the odo and no known issues, i.e. no CEL, no shakes, temp is normal and drives smooth.

I am thinking maybe water pump? or no?

thanks for any opinions here.
