Unhappy Weird sounds - Engine and maybe suspension?

Hey everyone,

My car makes funny...sounds, I've linked 3 videos, 2 of which are the engine sound and one of the suspension I'm guessing.

Engine video: One with the hood open, but the camera mic picks up more noises so difficult to hear the noise in question, except just near the end where it is fairly audible after revving.
The video with the hood close you can hear the sound, and it seems to be rotational so definitely something of that nature.

The driving video, it's coming near the driver (RHD) side, and I'm going back and forth over a dip in the rode, and it squeaks and groans like hell, and it always does this on the roads (can't really hear it when you drive with the windows up and music on!)

Below is the link to the videos.

Appreciate any inputs!

Sounds like something is loose. My guess would a exhaust hangers. I had that issue last yr and my Indy fixed it.. Or the shield is loose that protects the mufflers.

Would that be in reference to the engine noise or the suspension noise?

Correction. Earlier I stated suspension, but after careful review it would be engine.
