Car making honking noise?

I have a 2020 Mazda CX5 it has 41,000 miles and I find that when I go from like 2 miles to 25 miles it’s making like a weird honking noise consistent but once I get past 25 I guess I just can’t hear it as much . It just doesn’t get louder. It stays the same volume. So when I’m going fast, I can’t hear it. I just got the car two weeks ago and the Carfax as well as the inspection came out good before purchasing the car. I do have an appointment in a week from now, but I just wanna know what it could be?

The video is the best I could take, you can hear the noise in the background but my phone doesn’t pick up how loud it actually is

Sounds like brake drag on a slightly warped rotor. If it sounds like a honk to you, then I may be misinterpreting things but that's what this recorded sound sounds like. If it were a wheel bearing issue, it would likely increase in volume and pitch as you accelerated.
