Air leak? Air intake problem?
Referring to the above video.... whenever I step on it, it has this 'vacuum/ suck' air sound that you can hear, I'm actually not sure if this is the sucking sound? or is it the leaking air sound?
Just lately, I'm starting to notice that the engine is whining a at really high-pitch, it's quite define, as I rev the rpm up it sound together with the engine... I'm also wondering if it's the SSV stuck open?
Any good ears here? Do appreciate if you can give me xtra feedback on my engine health as well? Does it sound un-healthy/ going break?
Appreciate.
EDIT add: car is 04, 6-spd manual stock.

Good try on getting info up, better than what normally happens here, but like was mentioned before, unlock the video. I seriously doubt anyone could tell from the sound off of a video the health of your engine, unless you have a seal bouncing around in there, so don't expect much on that. If you suspect the ssv you can check it now without waiting for us to watch the video, check the actuator on it, there are many diys here for it. It is always best to check everything you can before posting, chances are you will find your issue. I am not saying we don't want to help, but digging through the information here and going through your car in detail will help you learn.

Thanks, I've made the video public now, I would appreciate it if you can listen to it and give me some feedback/ comment. Thank you very much.
Thanks!
Sorry I didn't know I have to unlock the video, just unlocked it.
Also: I noticed that I'm getting a really hard sound "after" I crank the engine in cold (I don't think there's a crank issue). Will take another video when I crank it up under cold. I'm not sure if this is related, I did recently put about 500miles in 2 days on it. Low on Oil maybe? Radiator did flash up when I was stepping on it around the higher rpm in 4th gear, around 70mph+ (merging into freeway). But once I release and start cruising that went away.
Thanks again for all the comment so far. I really hope to figure it out b4 I drop it into the dealership again. My last one was just freaking 2 weeks ago.
