I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but anyone know of anything regarding a kinda subtle, but higher-pitching whining or whirring sound coming from the front of my vehicle? It’s coming from under the hood, of course, and it starts immediately when I drive and/or accelerate.

I have a 2016 jeep patriot, if that helps at all, and it all began following a stupid, little fender bender at an effing stoplight, which resulted in damage to my vehicle exclusively, particularly the radiator, followed by a replacement done nonprofessionaly and cheaply equipped.
 
The only thing I can think of in that area would be the cooling fans. Though unless your ac is on at startup, those shouldn't start spinning right away. You can try turning off the ac and see if the noise stops.

If I knew how to post a video of the sound recorded, I would, but I came figure it out. Am I able to or do you know how?

You'll have to upload the video to another site (youtube, etc.) then post a link to it.
