Default 93 Prelude SI distributer noise? (video)

Hi, I have a 93 prelude SI with 133k on the clock. it's making a strange noise that seems like its coming from the distributer, this is what I originally thought the issue was so I replaced the distributer with a brand new one but the noise is still exactly the same.
The noise is worse when the car is cold, but when it warms up it only slightly gets better/not as loud. I only notice it at idle or when coasting in neutral up to a stop light. Under throttle it seems to go away, but that might just be engine noise drowning it out. The car doesn't have any CEL's on the dash.
I've tried googling this issue all day and the only answers I've come up with is to replace the distributer...
If anyone has any ideas on where the noise might be coming from it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here is the video.
