Maybe the pulley on it or the one to the right of it. You can see in the video that when I apply the throttle the noise stops. (it only does it at idle)

Thanks!!!
This a common and reoccurring problem, you rfree wheeling alternator pulley is on its way out. Fortunately, it is a quick and easy replacement. Do a search, you will need a special tool to get it off (about $25 or so) and several online source have the pulley.
