It's hard to on my phone but it sounds a lot like mine. Try loosen belts check pulleys for possible bad bearing.

tough call! thats my largest complaint about the vortechs... even straight out of the box they sound broken. so who is to say when its finally done unless its painfully obvious or blowing chunks of compressor

Well I took belts off everything sounds right but the cog belt looks worn on 1 side of it , also I think it may be coming from the cog tensioner but its installed right do these just worn out ? It still spins doesnt sound bad when I removed it car still pulls hard

Does the sound go away when you touch the gas to 900 - 1k RPM while idling?
