Your fan's viscous hub could be stuffed. Sometimes they seize up causing the fan to drive at full bore all the time.

with the car off spin the cooling fan, if it spins freely then its fine if not then its stuffed. you never know might be a good time to switch over to thermos

Remove the belts one at a time and see when the noise stops. Idler pulley bearing made quite a noise on my EB before disintergrating.
