Noises can be a problem to find.
I went through the same thing, I took the belt off and still thought (wrong) that I was hearing a noise. I replaced the water pump and alternator, still had the noise.
The last thing did was replace the belt - it was the belt. The belt was apparently pulling into one of the pulley groves and making a noise when it pulled out.
However the good thing is now I have a spare water pump and alternator for my next road trip. Good luck finding the problem.

That seems easier than taking the belt off and run the engine for a minute while listening for the noise. :)
