Well, thank you all.
At the end of next week I will put the car in service.
I will let you know how it turned out.

So, there were replaced: alternator drive belt, time cambelt along with water pump and all pulleys. It did not help. 
I do not know what to do.

Did you try doing this?

In service said yes.
The worst thing is that it only lasts until the engine warms up, so a few minutes.
And under the hood it is almost impossible to hear and to identify because rest of noise of the engine.

So if it was done did it rule out the items disconnected - i.e. PAS pump, alternator, A/C compressor & the associated tensioners/rollers?

So, nor is it a power steering-servo, after it's exchange, the sounds remained.
But the problem has correlation with the temperature. In these days, when the temperature is around 12-13 degrees, sound completely disappeared.
It does not appear at all. But when the temperature is about 9 degrees or less, sounds again return.
If it succeeds, I'll try to record this sound and attach it here.
