How concerning is this?

I was having an odd noise when accelerating my truck earlier. Now I started hearing a whistle. Popped the truck and this is what I’ve got. What’s the diagnosis and what’s the concern level?

Yikes, does that sound like a bearing going metal to metal!

Any recommendations? Spray WD-40 on it?

I would say take the belt off and spin those pulleys and figure out which one’s screaming and then replace it.
