Default Horrible noise, is it my timing belt? (video)

I just noticed last night that my car sounds like this coming from under the hood. A friend of mine told me it was cuz everything was cold due to being outside, but even though it's been driven around for a while with the temperature higher, it continues to make this noise. Here is a video recording of how its sounding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqI8aIWFk4s

(The squeaking and everything is more loud and obnoxious in person)

I got very close to 120k miles on it and I believe I had it changed when I first got it at about 113 or 115k miles. Timing belt, water pump was all replaced. My dad owns an auto mechanic shop but whenever I need something checked or done, the other customers are first priority so I haven't had it checked yet.
