I have a 2003 Ford explorer with a 4.0 V6 that has a roaring noise that sounds like it is coming from the top front of the engine that sort of sounds like a power steering pump. So I took the fan belt off and the noise is still there. What could be making this sound?

It could be internal engine bearings or a timing chain tensioner has come loose or broken.
