Default Engine Whining Sound - Please Diagnose *VIDEO*

Well my engine has been doing this for a little while, it has a strange whining noise that is fairly loud around 4000 RPM. It happens while accelerating under moderate throttle. I have a video that i shot to help you guys diagnose the problem. Thanks! You MAY need to turn your volume up a little bit to hear the whining due to my crappy digital camera's mic. oh by the way, i am not runnin a turbo set up right now, i will be in a week, but i need help to diagnose this before i put the turbo on.

my guess is it's a belt. I know when i did by timing belt i tightened it too tight and it whined. I dont think it's anything to worry about.

well, its very hard to hear, but its not really a high pitch whining. its kinda mid sounding, not deep, not high, and it always happens at the same RPMs on the same gears. it happens at differnt RPMs on differnt gears, but its constant on what RPM its on in each gear. im stumped on it, its been happening for a while, ill see if i can get a better sound clip later.
