The only change in tone is when you take your foot off the accelerator and the noise stops. I was doing about 30mph when I did that video, but it would sound the exact same at 60mph..

Pretty sure I got the right one, when you put your foot down it's there. Suggested to me that very slight movement of engine/drive/whatever under load was releasing something metallic and dry. Constant noise as you said so not rotating, hence my suggestion.
And aren't manifold flaps mainly rev-related, though obviously the vacuum driving it is somewhat throttle-related. You could check that by manually overriding gears.
