Most likely its a wheel bearing. Jack up the front end and try to wiggle the wheel left and right with your hands. If you can do that at all, the wheel bearing needs replaced.

If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
