Do I have a worn out engine pulley/bearing? Please help

Hello forum members, got a noise at the engine bay that cannot identify, not sure if these couple of videos might help someone chime their thoughts, notice that in the second video, there's a clacking noise right the engine is turned off, checked the serpentine belt and still look in good shape IMO but appreciate comments on those whom may have a similar experience, this is a 2006 330i with a little over 85k miles, thanks in advance!

Yes, not to mention the kind of rattle when I turn the engine off, thoughts?

Thanks, I was considering doing the belt replacement although checked the belt and looks like still in good shape with no apparent cracks..I guess the tensioner or the other pulley might be tired after 80k miles

Thanks for the feedback, I bought it on early December last year..I guess I'm still not familiar with this one, does the serpentine belt on your car slightly moves front and back off the tension pulley? (see video)
