It sounds like the harmonic balancer has given up the ghost. The sound
probably isn't coming from the belt, it is coming from the rubber in the
pulley. If you can rotate the belt attached to the alternator/water pump by
hand while it is still connected to the crank pulley, you have found the
problem. The clicking sound you hear might be from the index key in the
pulley.
Good luck,
