chirping noise when accelerating

recently i started hearing this "birds chirping" noise coming from the right passenger area.
Noise goes off when accelerating (pressing on the throttle) and goes away when i release the throttle, no noise present when car is rolling without throttle even at speed.
The noise is not present when car at stationary and revving, the noise is highly present first 20mins of driving and gets lower after 20-30 mins driving or when driving hard, it could be sounding lower because im getting used to it.

took it to a professional mechanic $$ and changed the belt tensioner and belt but failed to fix, then the mechanic recommended to change front brake discs which are not due yet, however, i can not be convinced that they are the brake because no brake squeal or what so ever when breaking, and i can't be trusting the mechanic anymore for fixing major parts $$$ without even him lifting the car to inspect undercarriage or go to more deeper inspections.

For now im living with it, here are couple of videos i recorded, the noise is better heard with headphones.

Did you ever figure out that noise issue? Have f10 535 doing the exact issue under light acceleration. Thank you

Is your HVAC fan running? It could be a squeaky fan.

Does it happen with someone in the passenger seat? Could be a squeaky seat.

it happens when I have someone in the passenger seat and when I'm by myself and it is every time I lightly press the gas and when I push down past a certain point it goes away. My fan is loud but it's a different noise than this. I don't believe its the belt either because it's still tight
