Just today, I noticed this new noise while turning left. The noise is coming from the left side of the front end. Power steering fluid is full.

Please listen to the YouTube link and give me some opinions. Thanks!

Sounds like the tire rubbing on the wheel well.
 






What number4 said. I had a similar noise when backing out to my left. It ended up being the plastic in the wheel well sticking out a little bit and the tire was hitting it. I cut out a little piece and solved the problem.
 






You guys were right. The trim must have come loose when I pulled it back to fix the cowl leak.

Same thing here. I even had my mechanic take a look at what was causing this turning noise when the vehicle was in his shop for something else and he said the trim in the wheel well was hitting the tire on sharp turns.
