Help me identify this engine noise!

Hey folks!


I've had my 2007 RL now for 4 years and it has been a fantastic car. I've been recently hearing a whining noise a couple of times mostly in the mornings that doesn't sound right. I recorded a video and drove around for a bit with the window down. Any ideas if I should be worried? Thank you for anybody's help!!

Thanks for the info! I took it into the dealership yesterday. They thought it could be the tensioner but also the power steering....the fluid was low so that was topped off. They advised getting the water pump, tensioner, drive belt replaced. After finishing the work, they told me that the tensioner was leaking so it was good idea we did the service. Hopefully it wasn't the alternator!
