So what could be causing this noise?

    It's not that good of a movie, but my car has a bad sound every time I go over a speed bump like this.

    Sounds like the 3 strut nuts on the front are loose. If not, you got bigger problems.

    Well it's not a tire rubbing, I know that. lol. So, what is a strut nut, and how can I check that? I'm a dummy when it comes to car stuff, I'm using this car to build my knowledge. I'm gonna make a different video, from a different angle, to capture the sound better. So, what kind of "bigger problems" are we talking about?

    It's the 3 nuts on each strut a strut bar would attach to. It sounds like your strut mount is loose so you should check the tightness of those nuts.

    bigger problems means you will have to jack up the car take off the wheels and look under there.

    Well I have like 74K miles on all original suspension, so maybe that's an issue too?

    Ok made a second video from a different angle, this captures the sound better than the first one.
