Noise coming from driver side

This is really weird. Sunday is when this noise came up. In the morning we went out of town. I had the car in "comfort" mode and drove through rain to atlanta and back home. The only thing that i did with my car besides driving was help jumpstart two cars. One the second jump start someone was in the drivers side and revved the motor alot harder than normal. Anyway after coming back home i noticed a sound on the driver side. You can hear louder here than anywhere else in the car. I have a video clip w sound attached. Its kinda hard to hear but the sound gets louder as I start breaking and gets softer as I accelerate. The car steers and accelerates fine. Nothing seems wrong at all. Its just this annoying sound that has me concerned.

Well i found out it was the wheel bearing. The nissan dealership said it was coming from the right front side and not the left. Paid 35 dollars to find that out.

that's what I was about to say, mine is doing the same thing

I need to get it replaced soon, but it's been bad for some time...like two months before I got it diagnosed

just a quick addition to what happened. I took my car to another mechanic(a guy who is pretty good) and he said it sounded like my left side(which is what i thought in the first place). Turned out that it happened to be the left instead of the right. I really wouldnt expect a nissan dealership to get things like this wrong. They were going to charge me 185 and take about 2 hours to fix the wrong side. I hate stuff like this and it makes trusting them hard.
