Unhappy What the hell is this sound?(Belts and other mystery issues)

Hello,I've owned my 90 na6 miata for two weeks now.I've likedH so far,its teaching me how to drive stick and is fun to corner with, However since ive owned it its had this peculiar noise when I was taking off,I struck it up to poor clutch control but now ive been driving stick for a while and can smoothly take off..the noise persisted. earlier in the week when I cranked my car to drive home from work the sound gets really loud...I figured id change it this weekend...Except this time I noticed something different. My coolant level was at 11/10:30 instead of 12 as per usual and my oil pressure was a bit lower...then my charge light flickered on and off.the battery is new and the alternator doesnt really make noise.i cranked it today and it struggled for half a second but came right back on...what could be the issue...my ac is taken out and so is the power steering as it was sold to me this way.I honestly dont know what to do and dont wanna give up on this little car i love it...its the second car ive bought.my first one was more or less a lemon after electrical issues popped up so im very wary of those...


here is a vid of the sound:https://streamable.com/5x74e

That belt spins the alternator, so if it's slipping (squeaking) you'd see a charge light on. Replace and move on.
