I just checked my pulley and while its not directly in the center and close to the edge, its still fully on the pulley. But I wonder if this is the reason why a few have had to rebuild the pulley - maybe its putting tension on the bearings with the belt not being directly in the center of the pulley.

I started hearing a noise the past few days, it comes and goes, but I'm wondering if its the pulley.
