Is this a bad OPDA?

Started hearing this noise yesterday. I had just come home from some highway driving, and was ready to go out for the evening. Noticed this over the radio. I haven't driven it since, except to pull it down the driveway.

Sounds to me like the OPDA squeel, but not so sure. I think it sounds more like a turkey gobble than laughing monkeys but...

Water on belt didn't do anything, belt is tight. All pulleys spin with no noise, and no play.
Edit/Update: Sound is still there with the engine started and no belt on.

Yeah that sounds like the classic OPDA turkey call. Assume you have an 05/06 model year? I wouldn't drive that until you replace with a Crown unit.
 
@bromel Thank you much! It's an 06. Yeah I'd watched a few of the odpa videos and it sounded pretty similar (but not quite the same).

I'm ordering the crown unit now. I'm seeing in the reviews there to just reuse the existing sensor.
