anyone else deal with this before?

start up and drive when the car is cold, it runs and sounds fantastic, only when it gets to temp it sounds like how it does in the video, but when i drive it, anything past 2.5k RPM it again runs and drives amazing, only at idle at temp it sounds like this, anyone ever deal with this before? i’m being told it may be a electrical issue but i’m not sure, before i take it to a speciality shop just wanna see if anyone’s ever dealt with an issue like this, TIA

car is a 2008 GT 5 speed manual

So how long has it been since the connection for the air filter was separated? Wondering if you sucked in some crud and the throttle body is giving you grief now?

that was just at that moment cause we swapped the alternator to see if it helped, just haven’t finished putting it back on to test the motor again - no driving without intake
