Default source of groaning noise?

I changed the timing belt and water pump on my 1999 voyager 2.4L. Since
I got it back together I have noticed a noise that seems significantly
too loud, and it sounds kind of like a power steering pump. It is
definitely coming from somewhere on the engine, as it rises and falls
with the engine speed. Is it possible that the increased noise is a
result of getting the power steering belt too tight?

No, I changed the timing belt, tensioner and idler as routine maintenance.

It's full. I think the pump is just getting old, and the tighter belt
has made it louder. The stethoscope confirmed it. I guess I'll be
changing that next.....

Thanks for your help!
