Strange noise

Hi everyone, I'm having a weird noise that I can't figure out. I have some ideas, but here's what's happening. I have a whirring/ticking/clicking noise at low RPM. It's in sync with the RPM, and it's very noticeable in the cabin, but hardly at all in the engine bay, and seems to disappear at higher RPM (unless I just can't hear it over road/engine noise). Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side, so this weekend I replaced the tensioner, idler pulley, and belt, but the sound is still there.
So I'm thinking it could be the water pump; the sound is traveling throughout the cooling system, so I hear it in the cabin? Or the timing chain? :( I have never pulled out the timing chain tensioner to see what it looks like; I'm nervous when it comes to timing parts.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to fix and keep this car and put another 180k on her :)
Thanks
Seth
