Rattle coming from AC pulley/compressor

This morning, a rattle came from the engine compartment. I took a look, and it was coming from a pulley. I turned the AC on, and the rattling stopped. I turned the AC off, and the rattling came back. It's pretty loud and it won't stop.

So, any ideas? Is it the pulley, the compressor, compressor clutch, etc.? Thanks!

Belt tensioner? My old Corolla did the same. Cheap and easy fix as well.

If it was the belt tensioner, would the rattling stop when the AC gets turned on? Because, that's what's happening.
