Upon listerning to video i would associate this noise with a collapsed thrust bearing but someone talking had a american accent so that rules a manual gearbox fault out the window ,Manual gearboxes and americans do not mix that i have learnt on here over the years ,now the only other thing i would associate this noise with is a collapsed bearing in the alternator or a gear idler associated with the fan belt (V belt) or a collapsed bearing on the timing belt tensioner or a water pump but iam not sure if the water pump is driven by the timing belt or the fan belt on this engine
Another fault with a automatic version is the flex drive plate but then the ign light wouldnt come on so for the V belt area and have a good look
