Been plagued by that annoying sound coming from frontwheel driveshaft for 2 weeks now. Finally had time to send to get fixed, now that workshops are open for business after the long break. My initial not-so-expert diagnosis hinted wheel bearing problem, so it should be safely a sub-50 bucks part replacement & repair job.
Worse. A trip to the driveshaft specialist turned out to be a 185 bucks parting affair.

Thorough inspection revealed cracked joint boot causing the packed cavity to be drained clean of grease; it simply means no protection from friction - speeds up wear & tear process, and eventually kills the driveshaft.

Luckily it's not damaged beyond repair. Took the whole afternoon to get it fixed & replaced the joint boots.
my car asking for big $$. damn.
