This sound like a heat shield to you?

Actually driving it more, it sounds like it's coming from the transmission. TOB?
Well sounds like this, just much less noise. Going to re align the PPF, car is sitting till Wednesday. Hopefully nothing major and just a fuckup on my end on alignment. Though it does have a happy meal on it, maybe normal lightweight flywheel noise? Happens -most noticeably- on accel in 2nd through 5th gear under 3k rpm, and also happens on decel around the same rpm and gear.

My car makes the same noise as the second video. First it was only on decel and it was not too bad, not much of an annoyance. Progressing through the season it got louder and noise happened longer. Then it started happening on acceleration. Nothing ever broke, but the noise is incredibly unbearable. I was on a stock 1.8 flywheel aswell. I bought a different trans, from a 99, to use next year, see how it goes from there. Realigning the PPF did nothing for me.

My car also sounds almost as bad as this these days. I've had the motor out before and it does have a light flywheel. I suspect better PPF alignment on re-assembly would help a little bit, and I have another gearbox now to try (because I get other noises from it and the current one is definitely on the way out!) but I don't think I will ever get rid of it entirely.
Having lived with the flywheel noise a long time now, it has become more pronounced and louder over time. just as Adrian has said!
I can believe it is as Pat has said... just part of having a lightwheel flywheel, but would love it to be gone or at least less loud.
Whinin, the noise in your videos does sound a bit like mine did early on before it was loud, have you had the clutch/flywheel/box/motor swapped or out before?
