It sounds like it's coming from the vibration of the pulley in the video.

Cooling system is fine. Yeah there is no sound when AC is off.
OK. The idler pulley does look like it's working a little harder, but that would be expected because the locked up compressor is putting more stress on the belt.

However, the idler pulley could be bad. If you loosen it up, does it spin free and doesn't wobble ..??

Can you get rod to touch the compressor (with your ear next to the other end) to see of the sound is coming from the locked compressor .. ??

Have you checked to make sure the compressor is bolted on tight ..??

It could be that the clutch on the compressor is damaged and making the compressor unit rattle when it engages.

I'll ring up ol @Ultramaroon ...... for an opinion.....he has good ears .....

Stay tuned.
