anyone have an idea of what this noise is? its a whining noise and kinda sounds like an electric whining noise. i assumed it was the tensioner assembly asd the belts since those were worn so we replaced those but the noise didnt go away. it maybe got quieter by a tiny bit. heres a clip

sorry the engine is idling so its a bit harder to notice the whining noise but its there, doesnt seem to do it when turning the wheel and its most prominent at idle. i stood outside in a parking lot while my friend drove the car slowly towards me and i can only seem to hear it when the car is at a full stop idle, i am not sure if maybe the engine noise masks it when it is driving but i am pretty positive that its only there during idle and full stop. going to buy a mechanic stethoscope in next few days but just wanted tips if anyone can identify it. for me it sounds like alternator whine but maybe it could be the water pump? or something else in that area.
**in person the noise is more trebly if that makes sense, the mic is picking up too much of the wind noise/fan noise so it sounds different, just focus on the whining noise plz*
thx!!
