    Hard to describe on a written internet forum makes it necessary for you to go take a video. I know..but if you could describe it..you wouldn't have gotten additional homework.

    Your latest post makes me think of a binding CV joint.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    My first thought is that you have damaged suspension/steering component(s) and are rubbing on corners.
    However Bill has a good point, describing a sound is hard to do with any accuracy. Other things that come to mind is a spark plug wire with a bare spot, and a bad CV joint.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!

    Just to throw it out there, check your power steering fluid level. The pump will whine if it is low.
