here is a link to a video I posted today showcasing my problem. Makes this noise when accelerating in nuetral, as well as in gear. A lot less noticeable in 4th and 5th gear. Very audible in 1st, 2nd, and partially 3rd. Someone told me its my timing chain, but I refuse to believe so because I thought they lasted the lifetime of the engine, and Im only at 145k miles. Any help/thoughts/opinions would be appreciated!!!

They don't last a lifetime, but will last a very long time if the oil is changed regularly. If you are lax on oil changes, it will slip around 150k+.

That noise sounds like an A/C clutch bearing or something else belt driven. Impossible to tell from a video, but that is what it sounds like. Take the belt off and start it. I bet it is silent.
