I have 2 unusual sounds coming from the engine compartment.
First one I have a video of. I dont think its the power steering pump as the sound does not change when i turn the steering wheel. It sounds like its coming from the alternator or somewhere in that vicinity.

Here is the video:


Second mystery sound i do not have a video of. My best description of it is a metal sounding buzzing when accelerating. Ill try to get a video of it, but it doesn't happen all of the time.

thanks in advance!

The buzzing sound is more than likely a heatshield right above the J-pipe. Try to wiggle it, and if there is play in it then you'll need to replace the washers.
