Default Buzzing Noise - Dash / Engine / Other

I have a severe buzzing between about 1500 to 2500 rpm. I can't tell if it is an interior piece or something more serious. Could you please listen to the video below and see if you any of you have heard something similar. Just for information the engine was replaced less than a month ago due to a broken thrust bearing so I can't imagine it being an engine issue. Is it possible it is something in the dash or maybe the torque tube?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It sounds serous. I don't know what it is, but nothing about it sounds normal. The deceleration at the end sound bad too.

Yup, pop the hood, drivers side, look for the steel braided fuel line; try to move it slightly forward OR backwards. If the noise goes away for a number of miles, take it into the dealer. There is a bulletin on this and it will be replaced under warranty. Good luck

Thank you so much! I tried it and your suggestion worked. I contacted the dealer to get it replaced but the fuel line is on national back-order so it looks like I will be waiting for a while.
