It sounds like a bad bearing somewhere to me too.

I'm convinced that is what it is. I am getting some air leak noise at idle as well now. Did your mechanic give you a quote for the repair? Not sure I want to/am capable of digging in to fix mine. (See first post for what it takes.)Similar sound on mine. Mech told me it is the manifold (headers) area. Air is escaping (leak).
Are you doing the work yourself? If so, what does the time commitment look like? I have a few towing trips planned this summer and would like to get the manifold(s) replaced before hitting the road. I'm wary of getting starting and not being able to tap out a broken stud or something. Right now the problem isn't severe...the manifold expands and seems to seal when hot. But I expect that it will get progressively worse.Holes are already in place. I’m having trouble finding the replacements in stock. 2-3 weeks for the CRP and over a month for the BD diesel with the 11 holes. I have mine torn apart because of both rear studs broken that was noticed when upgrading the turbos. Guess i had better look closer at the down pipes on my 17. Had the same cricket sound but also left turbo was leaking coolant.
About 2.5hrs each side down to the manifold but got lucky with studs having plenty left to get vise grips on. Studs actually came out without issues. YouTube has some good videos with tips and exact tools to help.Are you doing the work yourself? If so, what does the time commitment look like?
