Default Small rhythmic tick/grind?

Hey y’all, i have a 2011 f150 XLT it is the 4x4 5.0L and I’m not sure what’s making this small rhythmic tick/grind on the front of the engine? It’s not really a grind, tbh it sounds like maybe one of the pulleys, i was thinking it was the idler but i can’t tell. Anyone else have this problem? I’ve heard it before on quite a few “older” trucks so It doesn’t seem to be something major but I’d like to get it taken care of.
A video of the sound and where it’s coming from is attached

It's just that 5.0 ticking. They all do it. Actually, I never had a Ford V8 that didn't do it and I have had a lot of them. Normal.
