I have just ordered replacements for the first two ( upper and lower idler pulleys ), I figure I might as well just replace them anyway. The tensioner pulley seems "stiff" to me, but isn't noisy at...

Thank you so much! So the first and second ones in the video ( the upper and lower idler pulleys )? The tensionser pulley doesn't seem to make noise.

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 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/7Ui8qBTTN4d16daN6).
