Random squeal.....any ideas?
Im not sure exactly where it is coming from, but I just changed belts a few days ago to eliminate possibility. Sounds like its coming from front end somewhere.
Basically it is pretty random, well kinda.
It never happens when its cold and warming up.
Never happens above like 30-40mph and will happen in and out of gear.
I usually notice it when I'm parking after a ride like today. As you can tell it happens in low idles after a rev. Sometime even while around the 2k-4k rpms under 40mph.
A common related issue is when it is making the noise, a good amount of the time, the shifter will rattle more than normal. Just not sure as to what it may be after I eliminated belts.
Any help is appreciated.
Here is the video of the noise

The sound quality in the video is not enough to form a diagnosis. To me, without having heard the noise in person, it sounded like an air/vacuum leak. On the video, it certainly doesnt sound like squealing, which it may very well be. Thats just the nature of the recording. And because I cant poke my head around in your engine bay, I cant actually tell where the noise is coming from.
So, given what youve described, my literal stab in the dark is that somewhere under your hood, there is a bearing on its way out.
Maybe somebody else here has some more insight.

You make it sound like its normal. When I start the car up I have no issues, except a new issue where if I do an accelerated start, say 1st gear shifting at 8k I get a screech for about a second then wont happen again in any other gears, but always happens in first. But after I have driven it for a while....this noise happens and the shifter will shake at a clearly abnormal level, synchronized with the screech. Screech occurs, most of the time, shifter shakes hard.
