The video doesn't work.

But most likely the way i describe it is more of a clicking noise...... and it comes from the wheel bearings. dirt gets into the the cages and the housing starts to rust. Its a sign of them starting to fail. But until you get a vibration from normal driving its not a absoute necessity at the moment

Can't hear anything in the video. Take a look at your cv boots, and look for debris that may be stuck in there somewhere.

sounds like a small knocking in wheels, or like a metal cracking/bending sound, kinda like a hit on a metal every 4-5 sec
