Default Horrible noise from front wheel?? Help!!

I have a horrible noise coming from what sounds like the front drivers side wheel. Only makes it when moving, worse when the wheel is turned and also continues to make the noise with brakes applied. Any help would be awesome. I took a video because it is hard to explain the noise.

How are the pads and rotor? Is the caliper attached properly?

It is a 2x4. I took the wheel off the other day just to look if i could tell what was wrong. But everything looked ok. I mean my rotors are worn but i still have pad life and the caliper was ok. I made sure to tighten all the lug nuts and still making the noise

strange sounds coming from anything are always hard to pinpoint I had a sound of what sounded like I was dragging a chain under my truck for a few years that I never found anything wrong and finally it just disappeared???

Your sound sounds bad though and very odd

My only thought is wheel bearings bad... new Hub?

Is it harder to steer at all?

Anything different lately new tires?

Have you jacked the truck up and checked for anything lose spun the wheels and listen?

Anything?

You said you took the wheel off?

I wonder if you got Punk'd... pop off the wheel rim cap and look inside or look for anything hanging under the truck that doesn't belong.

That sounds like nothing I have ever heard
