I drive a Honda Fit 2006, and I started hearing a rubbing noise when I turn the steering wheel on start up/in the morning. The noise is quite loud, and usually lasts for 20-30mins before it disappears. I recorded the noise and posted in YouTube, view via https://youtu.be/4trDlLTDk9k
Please give me any advice please.

Hi there,
This sounds like cold tyres rubbing on the smooth surface you are parked on. This seems normal and not a problem that needs repair. You will mainly hear this when the vehicle is stationary as the tyre tread scrubs against the solid ground, more so on a smooth concrete surface (carpark building) . Does it go away when you are driving?
It could also be part of the front suspension strut tops that swivel when the steering is turned.
If in doubt, take the vehicle to a repair centre to get looked at, for peace of mind.
