Video below

Starts at 3 seconds and fades away towards end of video. What is that noise?

Sorry mate do you mean blow off valve ? It doesnt have a BOV
It's the formula 1 racecar type of weird whining noise starting from 3 secs and goes all the way to end of vid. I've no clue what it is.

No idea how hot was the car maybe the electric fan kicked in then stopped they usually start and stop at certain temps could have something stuck in it or fanmotors on its way out

Maybe an unhappy fuel pump building pressure again after it revved? Might also be dependent on the fuel level - how full was the tank?

Sounds very strange though.

Full tank of bp98, I always keep it full.

It's only one of the many strange noises I have on it

You need to provide more info, like where abouts the noise is coming from, otherwise all we can do is guess.

So have a listen and try and localise it to the front or rear of the car as a first step. Then grab a 1m section of garden hose and hold one end to your ear so you can use it as a stethoscop. Doing such can help isolate the noise you are chasing, so move the other end around an area where you thing the sound is coming from. The fact the sound doesn’t last long makes it a tedious noise to find... Hopefully you’ll be able to get a better localisation of where the noise is Actually coming from.

To me it sounds like a fuel pump is starting to squeal but if your car has many “noises” probably best to start with fixing the loudest abnormal noise first and work your way down to the slight intermittent squeals ;)

I'd go with fuel pump, maybe trans pump?
