The guy in video turns the AC on at 14 seconds so that's when the noise starts. After looking more into it I found Mini had a TSB on the issue and the fix was putting a weighted damper on the suction line behind the compressor. That is something I shouldn't have to do since GM did not have this problem in their design.

any chance you got a line banging against something?
Did you see the post I added to the video? It went to page two.
Here is another video where they show it with the AC on and with it off
This one starts at 13 seconds, very distinctive high frequency pulsating noise that sounds like a gear box with one gear. It gets quieter when the RPMs drop like when the vehicle shifts.
