The video's audio is too muddled to make out if thats a ticking or squeaking or what?

From the video it almost sounded like a vehicle with a lifter ticking.. But your description of the sound doesn't describe that at all. If the car was stored for a while and a lifter bled down- running it for a while should pump the lifter back up.

But again- I don't trust the audio 100%

Can't tell anything from the video, but you shouldn't run the car with the cover on it.

You can try running it without the belt for a very short period of time (30 seconds) and see if the noise is still there?

I would remove the engine cover behind the seat and listen to the idler bearings and tensioner. Also, check your power steering fluid. Then disconnect the serpentine belt, crank the car and listen again. If it goes away, it could anything that the belt drives. Happy huntin.

That's good advice, maybe take a video sound of the engine without the cover on. Do you have instructions on that? I'm in the process of uploading preliminary tech articles, I could send you a link if you need it...
