Default pulley whine

First off I don't hear that we'll my hearing is almost gone. I bought a 08 gt and have put on 30k miles and since I've owned the car it has mad a whine a little at idle and more upon throttle. Sounds similar to power steering. I think it's the grooved idler pully. Let me know if you all think the same I will be replacing it tonight and hopefully that is it.

There a bunch of pulleys under the hood there. If i wer u i would do a drip test. have the car running and take a cup of water and very carefully put a few drops right onto the grooved part of the serpentine belt. if the squeaking stops, its the belt. if not then its a pulley. it can be difficult to find the exact one
