I believe, but I can't be sure, the noise is coming from the front left. It sounds like the noise a playing card makes when you put it in bicycle spokes, or the sound of a rock stuck in the tire tread. It seems to come and go and is more pronounced when driving slower, or I just can't hear it very well at higher speed.

At the moment that sounds like a wheel bearing. suggest hoisting the front wheels and spin them by hand and check both sides, see if they rock at all (freeplay) - may not find anything. Do front driveshafts spin with the wheels on this? If so it could be a CV joint too. Complete the check and inspect the brakes too - they could be the noise but frequently if the brakes are the source the noise would be better or worse while braking or not,
