Mine did that before my idler pulley failed!

It happened in November. Mine sounded like a pan-flute. Its pitch and loudness increased with throttle through all RPM ranges.
At first I wasn't too concerned as there was no loss in power or change in driveability. But then all of a sudden I lost my power steering, the engine light came on and the temperature started to climb. I guess this is when the pulley failed, shredding my belt and seizing my water pump.
$1500 repair, fortunately covered by my extended warranty.
Better have it checked out just in case.
Ed
PS. Sorry if I freaked you out.
