The belt is spinning when your air conditioning is switched off yes, but your air cond compressor isn't activated.

The mechanism is magnetic I believe. Saw Naidu removing mine once.

Maybe you might want to check your air cond compressor to see if there's any issues there?

Honestly it's rather hard to figure out what sound is coming from where. I have weird sounds as well coming from the front of the engine during cold starts and I can't figure out where its from :/
