Once you have the accessory belt off, you can start the car to see if the sound is still there, that will tell you if it is coming from the timing belt area. Your car will be running on battery, some dash lights but no problem if you don't run the battery down.
If you are trying to determine where a sound is coming from, a good (and safe) technique is to use a long wooden rod or dowel. Place one end on the engine or component in question, place the other end on your skull just in front of your ear, plug your ear, and you can hear all kinds of internal whirring and clicking from the component.
If you might be hearing belt squeal, try spraying belt conditioner on the belt and pulleys, with the engine stopped. Old-time mechanics used to pour soapy water on belts for this purpose, often with engine running, and greasy, soapy water spraying everywhere, quite messy.
Sounds like a stuck idler pully. Take the belts off then trying spinning the pulley to see if it is easy to spin. If it does not spin freely then it must be it
