your alternator could've gotten wet. if it doesnt go away after after a few time of driving it, i would take it to a shop and see what the issue is.

It is most likely the sound of the alternator belt slipping under the partial lubrication given by the water - and if you are going to pressure-wash the engine, make sure you cover all electrical equipment and air intakes with plastic sheet and tape, first!
