Buzzing noise coming from engine bay

Anyone know what may be causing this noise? Happens when key is set to accessories. Can't tell if it still happens when engine is running. Car still starts and runs fine. Seems to be coming from around the intake snorkel area

Sadly, after 218 posts on threads, you still leave no info in your profile of where you live and what model and year Maxima you have.

Wow I thought I updated this in the past, guess not. Bio should be updated now. It's a 1999 GXE and I'm in Mesa, AZ

Then you have ABS. First place I'd inspect is the ABS motor module.

Based on the video, seemed like it was coming from the driver's side. Check the relays if it's not the ABS.

Thank you both for your responses! @Reality That was exactly it! Rotated the TPS until I got .58v on the middle wire (was about .78v previously) and that resolved the issue. Thanks again!
