99 9-3 convertible LOUD noise under hood
 

I am new on this forum so I want to thank in advance for any help or advice to any question(s) I might have. I am new to owning Saabs. I have a 99 9-3 and I love the car. However, about a week ago I started hearing a noise that has gotten progressively louder over a few days time. I stopped turning wrenches twenty years ago and I'm still taking this to an independent Saab mechanic but I thought I would see what you might think it is based on the noise. I've recorded thirty seconds from my iphone and have uploaded it to YouTube.

Thanks again for your input.
