Could be the bearing?
Its really hard to tell based on your clip... That said, I am would be willing to venture on the CV joint. Its along the range of noises and they are fairly cheap. But, I would bet someone not blowing up **** will chime in tomorrow and advise more accurately.

My car is a Rwd therefore it doesn't have CV joints/front axel..
Is it consistent with the spin of the tire? Meaning if you go slower is the noise happen slower? Being RWD and seeing as there are only a few things that would be spinning up there I would check your rotor (front and back), then make sure your tie rod isn't impacting a wheel weight as you are at full lock, and then look to the bearing.

At full lock your tie rod is very close to the wheel, it is why it has that curve in it. If you changed up the set-up (bigger wheels, lowered, or the like) the tie rod location could change and might be making contact with your wheel. The wheel weights used to balance our tires are placed, typically, near the edge of the wheel, and they stick out some. It might be the wheel weight impacting the tie rod when at full lock because they are that close. Turn the wheel full lock and look to see how close the tie rod is to the inner edge of the wheel.
