Strange noise while driving

There's a strange noise coming from what seems like my suspension, or my tires or something while i'm driving at highway speeds. Seems to only be on the left side. Anyone know what it might be?

It could be your power steering pump that's on it's way out. But very hard to tell from the video.

When was the last time you checked your wheel-balance?

Wheel balance, quite recently. I think it was actually the day before I took the video, or even the same day actually...
I haven't gotten an alignment in a while though, I should get one soon. Haven't heard the noise in a while though.
