Hi guys! Hope you can advise with this issue.

The car is:
Mazda 2
1.5
2011
83k miles

A squeak/clicking sound emerges from the left side of the car after a bit of driving (10 mins ish) which gets progressively louder. The click has the same cadence as the wheel spinning. The sound volume doesn't seem to be impacted by steering or breaking.

The links lead to some videos which show the sound. They were taken with the left window down.

I'm going to take the car in to be looked at ASAP, but I would really appreciate some advice before I do, in case the fix could be simple and they quote me for a big job.

Thank you lovely people :)
 
I'm pretty vague here I'm afraid, but there's a possibility that the front discs are rubbing on the backplate.........common but not dangerous.
However.......have you had brake work recently?
What happens if you turn the car in a tight circle?
I don't know why this is affected by a little run, unless the brakes are heating up.
When you come to a stop, feel each front wheel in turn......is one hotter than the other? (Don't poke your finger onto the disc!)
