This is due to the secondary air pump. People with no actual clue often call this an EGR pump. This secondary air injection pump can be found on 700cc fortwos and Roadsters only. It is located in the engine bay, over to the right, next to the oil filler cap.
The first thing to try is to remove the end bolt.
Drip some 3 in 1 oil in there and replace the bolt. If the noise stops, the bearing was probably dry or dirty.
