I can't recommend a mechanic, but you could try posting an audio clip

I know you probably don't care, but if you put a long screwdriver, prybar, or another peice of metal up to you rear, then you can touch it on the casing of each pump/pulley on the engine while it's running to see if a bearing is bad in one of the pumps.  If one of the pumps sounds different than the others than it may be your culprit.  Then again if your car sounds like a fog horn while speeding down the highway then your pumps and pulleys may have nothing to do with it.
Care to expand on this?
