does this sound normal?

Recently I dont know if I never picked up on it or what but there is a noise coming from my engine could be normal but I'm not an evo expert yet. I recently did a single spring mod to rid the turbo of surge dunno if its leaking now tho my boost gauge says 23psi but I dont know. I also just changed to plugs from stock evo 8's to 1 step colder coppers. Also the intake I assume makes a whistle at idle when IAC goes on and off I guess?

let me know what you guys think.

40k miles
evoVIII turbo with 10.5
o2 open dump,Downpipe,catback
HKS 264/264 cams
ARC intake with HKS pipe
ETS LICP
255 pump
MBC set at 23 psi
Ivey tuned with just the intake cams and catback
the owner before said it made 315whp

Noises are hard to discriminate against in videos. Sounds like it has some lifter noise and some slight timing belt whine? was the t-belt ever changed ?

Yea, I only asked because it's cammed. They might of changed the belt at the same time. And also might of skipped pulling out the lifters and bleeding them.
