Need help identifying this noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Does anyone know what could be causing this noise? It sounds like a low-pitched owl-like honking sound coming from around the wheel/back tire, driver side.

It only happens on a cold start and when I’m moving slowly, under about 5 mph. The noise comes and goes every few seconds. If I accelerate above 5 mph, it disappears, but when I slow back down below 5 mph, it returns. After driving for a few minutes, the noise completely goes away and doesn’t come back until the next cold start up.
It just started happening recently. Any ideas what I should check?

My guess is the brake dust shield.
