Weird whiny sound and possibly crickets?

Last two nights been noticing this noise quite a bit and it's very noticeable from the driver seat. Not sure if they're related or two totally different things or what the cause is but it definetly sounds strange and unlike anything I've heard this car do yet. I've personally only put about 1500km on it since purchasing it about a month and a half ago. It does have 44,000kms on it now and is completely stock. It's a MT.

Took the best video I could homely I captured the sounds.

While it could be just the case, I haven't heard the noises I'm hearing Come from this car since I've owned it. Sooo just making sure.

I hear a lot of "wind/microphone" sounding noise.

Is that what you're talking about ... ??

Can you isolate the sound, as to the general area where it's coming from .. ??

Sounds like mine. Unless I'm not hearing what your hearing.

Maybe ...... just maybe ...... the extra weight on the passenger side, caused a shift in the frame and that caused a shift of the engine on the mounts, which caused the serpentine belt to shift and ride a bit "off" center of the idler pulley, that caused it to whine a bit ........
