Default Strange clicking sound from engine

Yesterday I noticed this clicking sound coming from the engine bay. I could hear it through into the vehicle from the drivers seat. I’m not sure if its a new sound, or if it’s just much louder than it was before yesterday. Any ideas on what it could be? I’m not sure if I attached the video right, but I appreciate your help.

Probably your framulating reluctor. They sound like that when the di-planar tellingstrom cracks. It was a problem on the few of the later Cherokees.
