You might try removing the belt to see if the noise goes away with belt removed. It's ok to run a few minutes with no belt. However from that last video with the battery discharged, I would check the spark plugs. A loose plug can make a chirp like that.

I had the same sound and 911 monty is correct it was a loose plug that had not been tightened correctly.

Thank you boys, I will do it. I will work with car at weekend and than I will tell you how it worked.

Just an FYI. New plug torque is 30nm/22ft lbs. Used plugs retorque to 25nm/19 ft lbs. Cold.

OH and Welcome!

I kinda liked the "ragged candle" translation, had a chuckle over that one! Well worth the price of admission. Enjoy! :)
