Need help identifying what may be causing this noise.Since it started I have replaced both front axles, and the entire clutch assembly

Can't get it not to be for some reason

Yup can’t see the video either. Guessing it only happens while moving?

Happens when still and moving. Any time I get over 2000 rpm

I had the water pump pulley backwards and this is what it sounds like. It’s probably not your case but take a look

Sounds like angry bees to me. Check for their hive, but be careful. Cool wrinkle finish valve cover!

I wonder if the front cover (plastic) is touching on the timing gears, it sure sounds like it (or angry bee's).

Tensioner pulley, idler pulley, water pump?

Very well could be, but I have never heard one "buzz" like that.
I'd definitely take the front cover off and start looking and feeling around. I hate running them without a front cover, but in this instance, I think I would start it and FIND that noise, it's not going to get better.
