I got a car yesterday and didn't really hear the sound until now. I just wanted to make sure it's a normal Sound or not?

Hello,

This noise certainly does not sound normal.

It is not very clear where the sound is coming from.
Is it coming from the front of the engine, belt side, or from the transmission side?
If it is coming from the belt side it would be advisable to remove the serpentine belt, restart the engine, and see if the noise has stopped.
This would narrow it down a bit:
