When I drive my car, it makes a sound like when you go get your car smog and then put it on that machine that spins the tire. What is wrong with my car?

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
