It almost looks as though the sound is synchronized with the jumping belt tensioner there…
The pulley on that tensioner seems to be moving side to side also, as the sound appears? Maybe it’s just my eyes.

I found the cause .... bad belt, causing the sound, the tensioner was "slapping" and you could hear it in the right side head.....
