Thanks for attaching a video but there may have been an issue with attaching it because we only got a couple seconds, but I didn't hear the noise.

However, is this noise only when the vehicle is moving?

If that is the case the most likely issue is a bearing, but we need to run through these guides to see if any of these issues match up with what you are seeing:

Also, the next likely thing would be a tire issue, so we need to check the tires and find out if they are cupped or worn improperly.

I am attaching the chart below that will help with checking the tires.

Please run through this and let us know what you find. Also, if you can try and reattach the video that will definitely help.

Thanks
