I was just driving around and noticed a noise I hadn't heard before. I popped the hood with the engine running and noticed a pulley that was moving to the right and left every so often that was the cause of the noise. I'm not sure what pulley it is, but the only way i can describe it is I think it's the one above where you would install the timing adjuster. Not sure if this is normal or not. Thanks.

That is the belt tensioner, if it is moving a whole lot it might have to be replaced.

Figured it out. I'm an idiot. A buddy of mine pointed out that my defrost was on and it was the a/c pulley kicking on and off. Crisis averted.
