Does a bad water pump make a loose rattling sound? (archive)

There is a strange rattling sound which I believe is coming from my waterpump, like mabye a bearing has gone bad causing its shaft to wobble. The fan clutch is new yet when I grab and shake the fan clutch or the bell housing it bolts to they feel somewhat loose. I don't recall if it felt that way when I replaced the clutch or not. The rattling noise is consistant, meaning it dosent go away when the car is warmed up, as long as I drive when you get out you still hear the same noise at the same volume. Any ideas? Thanks
