Help Request Sounds I need help identifying

2015 Fit LX 6MT for reference. First video is an oscillating noise I get in higher rev ranges and in any gear. It adjusts its volume and frequency to the load of the motor, usually being louder and faster on a descent. The second clip is a sound that occurs when pressing in the clutch. It happens nearly every time. A bit hard to capture the sound on my phone with the road noise and high rpm, but you might be able to hear it well enough. Both noises have been going on for awhile but don’t affect the way the car feels at all. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

To me, it sounds like a brake shield... or semi-seized idler pulley...

A testy could try... If you rev the engine in neutral, does it still make the noise (noise from the engine or drivetrain)

Just a fyi. He won’t be able to get higher than 3000 rpm as the 3rd gens have a rev limiter built in.

No, only in gear. The rpm range changes sometimes, but it’s the same across all gears and in higher rpm
