Buzzing noise while running


Have this buzzing noise. Any ideas? Truck is in high idle in video about 1200 rpm’s. 126,000 miles, fuel filters changed about 1,000 miles ago just started noticing the noise

It didn't change the noise at all doing that.

It's coming more from the secondary fuel filter area.

Check to see the filter is tight and not sucking air?

Double checked all the fittings and they're snug, no signs of a leak either.

Gotta be a vac leak somewhere, keep feeling around and see if you have a split line. Something is sucking. What happens if you have someone rev the engine?

It revs up fine, doesn’t seem to affect driveability. The noise is most apparent at 1100-1600 rpms, below or above don’t really notice it

Might be worth noting that my cold side pipe had 3 cracks in it that I discovered yesterday (happened after using the exhaust brake). But the noise persists after fixing it with a stock replacement.

I was meaning does the noise disappear when you have someone rev it and you stand there listening?

It’s still there when revving but accelerates with rpms, it gets higher pitched as well.

here’s another video, the noise gets really loud on startup after about 20 seconds of running, it’s repeatable on each start.

Did you feel any vibration on the filter or the fuel lines?

Yes I did, I'll change them today and see if it helps. I used the Motorcraft filters from amazon that you usually see recommended online on my last change.

Have you felt around with your hand to see if when you touch something if it stops? Something may be loose and rattling.
