That was with the camera held a lot closer to the wheel than in your video, but I think the noises are pretty much the same.
Does the noise change if you slowly weave back and forth, and/or does it only make the noise while turning in one direction? That's a big sign of a wheel bearing.

Sounds exactly like mine before I swapped the hub/bearings.
Mine was interesting-- bearings were good, but the hub had little rust pits on it. Water must have gotten in somehow. Anyway, you definitely have a bad wheel bearing and or hub.

Well, I wasn't able to get any of the wheels to wiggle while tight, but it is definitely coming from the passenger side.
Driving home tonight, it seemed like it was actually coming from my front passenger wheel well area instead of the rear.
Where did you order your hub and bearing? Hondaautomotiveparts?
For those of you who replaced just the bearing, (they are about $50/ea), was it a problem getting the old one pressed out and in?
Btw, I managed to change my motor oil, tranny oil, differential oil, and replace my rear brake pads with a new oem set. Will be ordering a new set of fronts tomorrow after some reading just to make sure this noise isn't actually the metal clip low pad indicator on the back of my rotor assuming the rotor isn't 100% flat surfaced.
Either way, I believe it will be cheaper to do the front pads, and I need them anyway since I'm at 87k miles and none of the previous 3 owners ever replaced them. My rears pads were pitted and well below the 1mm threshold. I could barely see any pad on the fronts remaining.

The hub very rarely fails. The inner races on the bearing are way too tight for it to spin on the hub except if you hit a full lock situation, and you would know instantly if you did.
Autozone sells a high quality Timken bearing for $35.

So the race is built into the bearings for our type?
From the helms, it looks like we just have a clip and some kind of pulsar piece by the spindle nut (front).
I'm looking at the Timken unit on my desk, and I'm praying it does the trick.
