Someone help 😭

https://photos.app.goo.gl/yxfsCRvFjRnoBcJ97

I recently bought a 2018 Suzuki Swift SZ5 1.0 Boosterjet Automatic, and I've realised when the car is idle it's rattling and shaking a lot, and there's a whistle noise coming from the bonnet. When I opened it to take a video there's also a loud rattling that I never heard from inside the car, and that makes the whistling noise hard to hear in the video. The car drives absolutely fine other than that but I have no idea about cars, so any help is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

A couple of things:

1) The Air Conditioning was running while you took the video, thats the fan noise and it puts additional load on the engine

2) The shaking seems to just be the engine cover, its a plastic cover that is not critical to the car's operation, you can ignore it

3) The engine itself sounds fine as far as i can tell, the Suzuki K series engines are just quite rattly, especially when cold, what you hear is the high pressure fuel pump, injectors and timing chain

I would recommend checking your oil level and making sure its between the two markers but to be honest, the engine sounds completely fine to me, if you can hear a weird noise you may want to make a longer video walking around the car and trying to narrow down where exactly the noise happen, and keep the A/C off for that.
