I have recorded it on a video. Turn your volume up to hear it.

Is it the sound that is like a steady low frequency fan on low speed?
It sounds like wind rushing trough something larger, so it's frequency is low, like if you pursed your lips like you were going to whistle but keep your lips wider/farther apart and blow while making "short u" sound, like in the word for the "Yew" tree.

As you were moving the mic around that sound seemed loudest when the mic was around the are where that rubber boot/coupler is.

If that is the sound, it doesn't sound like a bearing to me.

Does anyone have a diagram of the engine bay and related parts?
This sound is similar but is not the culprit, because I can hear it when the car rolls with the engine off.
