Still have some "noise" from the serpentine section...

I did the short belt mod last night. Replaced the upper idler pully and the belt and removed the lower idler completely. (It was so loose and free-spinning that I didnt want it to vibrate and make un needed noise)
When I had the belt off I did notice the water pump pulley had some play. I could pull it out less than a 1/16th of an inch. Enough that it would move if I moved it back and fourth.
Im guessing that there isnt supposed to be any play in this at all, right?
The noise isnt a grinding noise or anything...its just that something is making more noise than it should, imo. Not a whine or anything. Just excessive "noise" instead of smooth and quiet.
Should I be concerned about the water pump? I would really like to make the engine as quiet as possible.
Any help?
TIA!
BTW I installed the Starla/Walker muffler last night, too, and it is very quiet, imo. I know there were a couple other posts wondering about it. Im very satisified with it.
