      check to see if you tightened the tensioner bolts?

          The sound quality in the video isn't that great but if you are taking about the mild howl and if it is present with the accessory belts removed and if it wasn't present before the timing belt change, I'd have to say it is from the belt. The new parts could be bad. Replace those with a Contitech kit.

            new belts often make a little bit of noise - sort of like a supercharger. it should go away after about 50 miles.
