Does this rumbling noise sound like the idler pulleys?

I have a rumbling noise that occurs at idle most of the time, moreso when the car is cold. I managed to capture the noise in this video.

Before I order the 2 idler pulleys, am I on the right track here?

Thanks as always in advance!

If you remove the belt, you can turn ALL the pulleys one at a time to see which one needs attention..............

Ah great! Assume I'm looking to be able to recreate a noise of some description while turning them by hand?
