Tensioner Wobble, Engine Sound

Cross post from F22, same engine but more posts here.

2016 M235i, Changed my oil 58,000 miles (most likely unrelated) burned about 1.5 liters in 7500 miles, drained 5.5 vs 7 liter capacity. Noticed the tensioner wobble (replaced in Aug 22)
I removed and inspected the belt, double checked torque of the tensioner and idler pulley, both still correct. Wobble seems improved, ticking seems more pronounced and there is a high pitched whine (identified in video) I avoid the mechanic at all costs and try to do as much as I can myself. Appreciate any advice from the community.

Sounds normal tbh the wobble is normal. I have the same ticking and I have a m235 as well. The DI are just really loud
