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?
source of groaning noise?

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!
