Maybe a wheel bearing, just a guess. Does it only happenen when you press the brakes?

Sounds like brakes to me. Unfortunately the video you provided consists primarily of engine revs and gear shifts. Does the sound change with brake application? Otherwise it's just a simple task to remove the wheel and have a looksee at the caliper and rotor. Seems I detected a intermittent rotational noise at the end of the video,but can't tell whether it is brake or bearing related. I can see where both would produce a similar effect.Insure that the slides or floating feature of the caliper is in working order.

its quiet enough for the camera not to pick it up but loud enough to annoy me haha.... i thought it could be the brakes so i changed the rotors and pads like a month ago.... i dunno what i tcould be... bearing i think
