Car Sounds 1982 Camaro (Video Included)
I recently noticed two strange sounds coming from my engine. One is a constant ticking sound that speeds up with the acceleration of the car. The second is a whining sound that I felt is coming from one of the pulleys, but wanted more opinions on what these might be. I am including a video with this post. Thank you in advance to anyone willing and able to shed some light on this!

Those aren't "normal" sounds. The squeaky-scrape sounds like it may be a bad bearing in the alternator, although that doesn't look very old. My best guess then would be the water pump is going out, it's a familiar sound to me. Are you getting any coolant leaks from below the water pump? With the engine off, can you rock the fan and feel slop in the pump bearing? Either one of those means replace the pump.
The other noise is either noisy rockers, or an exhaust leak. Those can sometimes sound the same in person, more so in a video.
