Might well be a water pump. Toyota uses a red/dark pink tinted long life coolant that would probably leave a reddish residue behind after it evaporated. Have you checked your coolant level lately? If the water pump is leaking it could douse the drive belt in coolant which would cause it to slip, hence the noise. Also the seal on the water pump itself might be making the noise because it is failing and letting coolant leak into the bearings.
I highly recommend you get it checked out soon.
