Default what do you think this noise is...(video included)

This noise has started now that I just got it from the body shop. They said it was rust on the rotor I call it crap. They must think i'm stupid!
Took it to toyota and had the mechanic listened to the video and he said brakes, calipers, bearing or bent axle?
I'm taking it in on tuesday back to the shop.

i forgot to add that it only happens when I first start driving in the morning that loud.After I drive for about 5 minutes it goes away. It has happened a couple of time at high speed and you can faintly hear a squeal.

Car was in the shop b/c I collided in a mall with a mustang. she failed to yield to the stop. My car needed major repairs. I've had to take it in 2 times extra already for stuff thats coming up. I just had motor mounts replaced. And now this.
here's a pic of the engine bay from the accident.

mine was making a similar noise like that not long ago, but it was a little different, and definitely coming from the rear breaks. it seemed like it made it for a week constantly, and then stopped, and it would only do it either in the morning when i first drove it or after having it parked for more than a few hours. it went away though. it seemed to be really humid when it was happening. if it wasn't like that before the shop though i would definitely take it back.

sooooo I took it back to the body shop this morning and got a call from the adjuster. He said that gieco would not cover any brake or suspension damage due to the fact that there was no damage in the original estimate/photographs/repairs. He suggested I take it to the dealer and see what they find. If they can connect it to the accident gieco would cover it. Like a axle. I had to remind him that the motor mounts were damaged but not diagnosed till after I got the car back and I was the one who found that one was broken not the shop.

So any help in guesses with the noise would help much! In the repairs they replaced motor mounts, radiator support, radiator, support bean,water pump and belt.

thanks!

Check out the backing plate on the brakes, it may have been bent during accident or repair.
