MR2 Turbo 1991, whining on accelerating.

Anyone got a clue on what this whine could be? Tried to make it clear with videos but it's only when I apply throttle. Pitch scales depending on gear I am in. Without throttle there is no whine.

Suggestions before..

Gearbox bearing.
Alternator pulley.
Vac leak.
PAS Pump. (Although this was ruled out as noise is from behind head.)

Cheers.
