where do you hear it coming from? does it sound like something down by the wheels or does it sound like its coming right from your steering wheel? sounds like a balljoint/cv boot…see if you can look at the cv boot (right behind the rotor, hard to miss) see if there is any cracks in the boot itself and replace if so. if not get that wheel off the ground and grab at the top and bottom of wheel and try to wiggle it back and forth…if movement occurs most likely the balljoint is to blame. either one should be under 100 bucks to replace ---

probably just a seperated belt in one of your tires throwing it off balance could also be a loose tie rod end, you don’t wanna mess around with that. i learned the hard way with my previous car. ---
