Sounds like a fan belt tensioner bearing going out.
But it is a video so it is a wild ass guess at best.

you could remove the engine cover behind the seats and have a listen.
Use a piece of hose (like garden hose or heater hose) like a stethoscope.
That way you can pin the noise down better then just listening in the normal way.

You could remove the fanbelt and run the engine for just a few minutes to see if the noise stops.
if it does then the fan belt tensioner or the altenator or the water pump is the issue.

Keep us posted.

how many miles on it??
