Unidentified sound 1998 jdm rx7.

Hey guys,
Here i am (yet again) with a problem to be identified.
This sound is most noticeable when the engine is cold started and after i've driven it a fair bit it goes away. Idle when warm is smooth, however i have got a boost leak (just additional info here), my electrical boost gauge is showing 5 psi. Alternator belt seems fairly loose when pulled (maybe one size too big).

Standard 13btt with cat removed and fmic.

Thanks in advance.
