Loose pulley or bad pulley bearing?

Try to pinpoint it with a mechanic's stethoscope or piece of tubing to your ear.

That does not sound like a pulley to me, more like metal to metal, possibly exhaust rattling from loose bolts. Did you removed/reinstall something recently? cross member, suspension parts, oil pan cover? Exhaust shield will be more like a tin sound, pulleys/bearings tend to have a chirping sound to them, this is definitely more like a solid/thick piece of metal.

My engine was rebiuld about 40000km ago, sound is coming from oil pawn maybe its really hard to say. Before rebuild I have sound like this but in all rpm from 1 to 9k and then it was pawn on shaft second rotor but it was more metallic and loud. I check bolts and they look ok. Will change oil next week will se if there some metal parts in oil.
