Mini marks on gears where the belt goes look at the grooves those are it only one groove per gear.

95% sure its your heat shield over your muffler, other causes could be, shocks or struts, exhaust system or muffler loose.

It could be your aircon blower that's busted. I had the same issue with a 97 Lancer. It was the motor of the blower that was defective so I had it replaced. Never heard the rattling noise and the A/C works perfectly fine after the replacement.

HTH and good luck!

I am sure the issue is belt related noise, it must be inspected not just for the belt but the idlers and pulleys the belt runs on, they may have a worn bearings or other damage, if all looks good then and only then change the belt. I hope this info is helpful.
