Surprised, it sounded like the tensioner noise, but maybe the belt was stretched causing the tensioner to be at its max limit and bottom out the hydraulic "shock".
Should be better to change also the belt tensioner when changing the serpentine belt or not really necessary is this diagram also same as 2020 model year
Not sure if mileage, but when your AC is on, it is placing a larger load on the serpentine belt tensioner and idler pulleys. I would change these two pulleys before committing to any AC work. Cheaper if it fixes your problem.

Thank you very much, for your video my 2017 HRV is making a sound similar to this HRV I hope it's the idler pulley on my HVR too.
Might be tensioner as well.
How much does this service typically cost at a shop?
Harmonic balancer looked like the rubber was cracked all the way around.
Might have been, but the vehicle was a 2017, so I suspect it is still good.

Good suggestion, thank you!
Was it any different when a/c was on?
How many miles?
My is doing it with a/c on.

Does the bolt loosen counter clockwise
One of them does, I mentioned it in the video at some point. Sorry, I don’t recall at the moment.
car had around 56000 miles ?
Low miles, yes.
what's the torque on the bolt?
Some sources say 19ftlbs, but I said snug, then 1/8 more turn. Should stay tight due to the motion of the belt in the tightening direction.
Yes Súper 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is same problem on my wife Hrv how difficult was it
Easy, only a few tools needed
