04 Aero, 58k... since the belt tensioner pulley was replaced, it is about half as loud as it was. Your video indicates a different pitch over by the serp belt side, bad pulleys or bearings there can make noise and increase vibration. Did you check for difference with ACC off? Seems to be an unusual amount of noise and vibration from yours, which is worse than mine even and it irritates the fool out of me.
My 00 9-3 with 3x the miles is much calmer, quieter, and vibrates noticably less. I thought that was due to the smaller 2.0 vs. 2.3L where smaller engines typically have less vibration. You are right it is irritating for a premium car to sound like a lettuce shredder.
