2003 Engine Noise sounds kinda like a Volkswagen Bug

This noise started on the way home today,

Anyone have any idea what the issue is (kinda sounds like a bug when I accelerate)?

Power steering pump possibly. Or a belt rubbing, my t belt once rubbed on my lower timing cover but it was a louder whining sound.

Maybe it's not coming through the video, it's doesn't sound like a whine, it almost sounds like a exhaust leak.

The owner hears a change in the sound. But with so many exhausts available for the Evo and so may ways to put then together an Evo can sound like almost anything. Yeah, maybe an exhaust leak.

Maybe an exhaust leak.

Just as a precaution, check your oil for grey color, shavings. Could be an odd sounding spun balance shaft bearing.
