Default grinding at idle

hello!

Yesterday i heard what i beleived to be either a belt or a pulley squeaking and didnt think to much of it, but today i now hear a grinding. i cant tell if it does it as im driving or not as im boosted and my exhaust if kinda loud cuz of no silencer. it grinds regardless of the clutch being in or out. so im trying maybe one of the pulleys are shot?

Remove each drive belt one at a time to see which component is associated with the noise.

The last time I heard a grinding sound in the engine compartment, it was a loose crank pulley. Good thing it was my son's Prizm.
