Default Noise coming from engine bay

My dad said his car was making a weird noise so thought you guys would have a hunch. Thanks for helping a newbie out.

My hunches haven’t been real accurate lately, but
has your Dad checked the power steering fluid?

Can you make the noise change by doing something or is it always constantly like that??

Try making a video with changing RPM's and changing the load on the engine..or by removing the oil cap...

May have a failing AOS pulling way to much vacuum on the crankcase...

Noises diag much faster usually in front of a good 996 savvy mechanic.. And on these cars,
if I got a noise I STOP using/running the car till I sort it. too many of those noises if neglected lead to $$$$ repairs.
