Default Engine noise?

Well I have isolated the squeak (with great help and ideas from forum members- THANKS) it was the front wheel bearing assy. Now the only noise I hear is more of an amplified turning noise (like ungreased bearings or something) This noise is present when the car is on and gets louder with speed. It seems to go away when I turn off the A/C. The belt is a few months old but the sound has appeared and stayed for the last two weeks. Any ideas? Thank you again to everyone here!

Sounds like it's the bearings in the AC pump because when the AC is off the only thing spinning is the clutch. When the AC is on the internal parts of the pump is turning. I also had a 88 camaro make that same sound then the pump locked up.
