Idler pulley bearing or tensioner bearing
Both are really cheap like under 20 bucks

u can check to see if its a bearing by putting a yard stick or something similar to each pulley and listen for one thats louder than the other, it'll sound like a grinding noise

put the yard stick to the bolt that holds the pulley on... it must be running while you do this so be carefull

another way is to just take the belt off and spin the pulleys by hand, listening for noise.

ok so theres no coolant on the belt and the belts not glazed or anything, i hear a squeaking comming from one of the pulleys (i tried the yardstick thing but my mom saw me and kinda rode my ass for it and called me a dumbass and asked what drugs i was on) lol the sound seems to be comming from the upper left pulley? i think, i dont know what pulley it is
