I opened the hood and noticed that cooler is kinda shaking. a/c was on while capturing. I'm just wondering if it's a normal noise from engine.

Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues area. My ears are not the best but I thought I did hear some clunking on the belt side. Below is a link to a recent post where a person has a good auto "stethoscope" idea. It is the sixth post.

How many miles on the car? Are you aware of whether the belt tensioner has been replaced or any idler pullies?

Belt tensioner could be the issue.
