Not really. Need a mechanic to take off the cover and see if the belt jumped or skipped a cog on the gear.

Sounds like the bearing on the crankshaft. Honestly that's no pulley. That's the crank you pointed out.

How does it look in the video, does it look bad? does any other pulley look bad? Btw the the Ac unit is on in the video.

It sounds like a bearing. But idk which one specifically, just check everything in the path of the serpentine belt.

The problem area was identified and is now being looked into. The serpentine belt area was normal.

Just to conclude this thread, the front axle was bent. once it was changed there were no issues afterwards.

Sorry for not updating this thread, The front driver side axle tripod was worn out. Had to buy a complete right side axle because some areas were bent. This fixed the dragging noise problem in the vehicle.
