Answer 1

More likely a bad front HUB Bearing.

Answer 2

Probably bad brake pads.

Answer 3

Tires.  Have somebody look at them.  they could be failing.

Answer 4

if it happens when you hit the brakes its probly front brake pads.  if it sounds like a growl the gets louder as you get faster probly a bad wheel bearing

Answer 5

I concur with the brake pad answer. Disc brakes have a wear sensor that alerts you to worn brake pads . When you apply brake the noise will cease. When stopped it will stop as wheel is not turning. When moving you will hear again Have brake pads checked

Answer 6

sounds like the wheel bearings to me as well. I would get them checked cos if it goes too far, a wheel could come off!!
