    did you recently have any of the wheels off? is so, try pushing/bending the backing plate away from the rotor and see if the noise stops. sometimes when you take a wheel off it can fall down onto the backingplate and bend it just enough to lightly touch the rotor and youll get a similar noise to that.

    ^Agreed, if you've done any work recently check to make sure nothing got messed up in the process. You should just simply remove the wheels and look for any obvious contact/damage of parts. I'm wondering if it might also be a wheel bearing?

    Well the noise is definitely coming from the front passenger wheel. it could be a wheel bearing, the brake pad on the backside digging into the rotor, the axel which i doubt or maybe even that dust shroud you guys are referring to. Man i just havent had the time to check it out and it seems to be getting louder. hopefully thursday i have time to check it out. if you listen to it at around 43sec you can really hear it.
