Sounds more like a CV joint than a bearing.

I watched your link #2 about wheel bearings. It did demonstrate the sound of a failed wheel bearing quite nicely. I have always known failed ball bearings to make a humming/drone sound that rose and fell with roadspeed. The noise will also get louder when loading the faulty bearing by turning the steering wheel left and right according to prevailing road conditions. The OP doesn’t mention a humming or droning that changes with speed.
