It looks like the right-side air duct is missing. If you look in your video the circled part and the duct under it are missing. You can see the open section that it connects to in the video. I would replace that then see what the noise levels are. The open intake leaves a lot of noise in the background, so any odd noises were hidden.

Can't really tell because of the intake noise. I don't hear anything destructive but that doesn't mean much. I would wonder why that part was removed though.
