JR tech told me "Your video sounds normal, just with the air filter/impeller noise being reflected. If your supercharger internal drive is truly getting extremely loud, it is starving for oil. If your oil level is correct and there are no leaks, you are fine. Your air filter has probably dirtied over time causing more restriction and the increase in impeller/filter noise".

I had my doubts about it being the filter, but bought a new one and it still has the same exact noise.
I didn't want to be out the $375 evaluation cost+car downtime if it truly was normal sounding according to the tech, so I never sent mine in.
My noise went away with the new unit and till this day it's quiet. Maybe a little louder but nothing as close as what the first unite sounded like. It was ear piercing and hard to stand next to my car with the hood open. Something was wrong. In my case that is.....
