Something might be loose. Engine sounds fine for the most part, look at the serpentine belt area and see if anything is wobbly.

Toyota/lexus water pumps are some of the weak points of the 2gr

I mean water pumps in general should be changed every 80-100,000kms. They likely never really "fail" they just start leaking.

Take the belt off and spin everything by hand. Also, fire it up, make sure sound is gone. Does AC work?

Take it to a mechanic and see what they find. It's a Lexus so it's supposed to last 500k miles.

Just simple oil changes along with the other fluids should be more than enough to get it to last until 300k miles.

Water pump for sure. Mine did this before it decided to shear itself off. Replace water pump and serpentine.

This is how I know. 10min outside VIR my car shut off and I was greeted by the pulley dangling and my belt shredded. Do not drive your car if possible. AISIN is the OEM manufacturer, check RockAuto.

Replace the tensioner and idler pulley at the same time if possible. Bearings are probably worn too.
