Looking to buy a used Speed Queen washing machine that is described as "just a little loud", when I asked seller when its noisy he said during wash cycle and his research tells him it's "just 2 metal pieces rubbing together" and it works fine. I'm used to fixing things and the price is reasonable so I'm going to go see it and wanted to know what I should look for to determine what type of repairs I might be facing. Would really appreciate any direction form other members with experience on these things. It is a model AWN432SP113TW04

The idler pulley assembly is probably making noise. There is a kit with the idler arm and pulley assembly along with the belt. Not too difficult to repair.
There's also a fix to a similar noise that involves applying grease to the washers between the driven sprocket and the brake area.
Both noises are easily remedied.
You'll enjoy the 432 over newer post 2017 models as yours has a mechanical timer that YOU have full control over the cycles and times, full control over the water level, and a fast spin during the spray rinse.
