Got a bad ticking noise when i accelerate

Had someone briefly look at my car said a bearing might be going out? Anyone else had experience with this? It ticks over the supercharge lol feels like the supercharge don't even whine anymore. Don't lack in performance at all though. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

And are front bearings easy or costly to get fixed?

Thanks, Brandon!

Does it do it at idle? Take a longer screw driver while the car is running and hold it on the blower where the snout meets the actual supercharger and put your ear up to it. Does it sound like marbles shakeing in a can?
