My issue started happening a few weeks after I purchased the car. Only put about 300 miles on it and then the issue occurred. Please help.

First vid is a sound coming from my passenger side.

Second Vid is a flapping type sound when the car is in gear and when the RPM'S hit 2000k-2500k. Above 2500k the sound goes away. In the vid you can hear me rev up the car when it's in neutral and you'll notice that it doesn't make a sound at all.

One morning I noticed both of these sounds so they both occurred in the same time. What do you think it is?

the first it took me till the end to figure out you had shoved the camera in the door jamb, anyhow I can barely hear anything, sounds likea relay clicking, bast I can tell, try turning everything off and see if it goes away, at least you'll know what circuit it is

the second sounds like either something rubbing or leaking, either way popping the hood and trying to find the source of said sound will get you further than filming the sidewalk

Thanks for the reply, but people on zdriver.com were very helpful. They heard the sounds in the vids just fine. Turns out the first clip was my AIV and the second sound was my throwout bearing so its a clutch problem.
