Default High pitched noise from the top of the engine bay

High pitched noise like a power drill coming from the top of the engine bay, seems like from either the supercharget or throttle body.

Check for air leaks @ throttle body.

It is most probably from the TB. The throttle motor is operated by a PWM signal which has frequency of about 300 hZ.

If you listen to this a 300 hZ audio sample (https://textmechanic.co/300Hz.ogg) you will find it similar to the sound you have.
