Default Strange squeak from belt section

I have D16Z9 and some time ago randomly appeared high-pitched noise from timing belt side. Later it disappeared for a week, but then it started again. When starting totally cold engine it remains quiet for 2-3 minutes and then squeak appears. Like I said it comes from timing belt side and it is not from timing belt tensioner, water pump, alternator or power steering pump. I changed timing belt tensioner and water pump (they counted only 10k km, but looking for a problem, I changed them too), also tried to start engine without alternator and power steering pump belts. However, sound remains.
Here's a short video of the sound:

So what it can be? Timing belt? Oil pump? Any ideas? Thanks!

Already tried to start engine without power steering pump belt and the sound remains. Also, I replaced belt tensioner, but nothing changed. If You're talking about crank pulley, I guess there's nothing to squeak, because there's no bearing on that pulley.

There's a timing belt tensioner and an idler pulley for the A/C belt. Did you replace both?

I replaced timing belt tensioner. I don't have an A/C. Are You talking about this pulley?

If yes, so I didn't changed that, but I guess there's nothing to squeak in that pulley, because there's no bearing.

That's the crank pulley. Do you have an A/C compressor and belt?

Use an engine stethoscope to pinpoint the squeaking noise.

That doesn't sound like a belt squeak, sounds like metal on metal. Do you have those spacers that go betwen the crank gear and the oil pump?

I guess You're talking about spacers with concave (I marked them in red)? I do have that spacers.
