I haven't had a water pump fail on me yet but from what I gather it's usually more of a clankity rattle sound than a hum. The alternator tends to have a bit of a groaning hum sound to it under normal operation. My old 2001 V6's did, and my 2004 Aero's does too. You could check your power steering fluid level too. The PS pump complains with a whine when it's thirsty. If everything checks out I wouldn't be all that worried about it.
