Thanks for the replies and video! It seems easy enough. Now I need to find the part.
The mechanic said he has no idea what it could be, seems to be electric because the pitch drops if you use another electric component (like closing the windows)
He said the only way to diagnose for sure would be to replace the pump and see if it still happens. Now i'm on the lookout for a pump!
I would personally look for a used OEM pump before I spent the money on a China brand replacement. I feel you would have a more reliable and longer lived part.

Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!
