There is a noise coming from my front passenger side wheel. The best way for me to describe the noise would be a woom woom woom woom noise. The frequency and duration increase with acceleration and decrease with deceleration. It would seem to me that it would be the tire. However, my tire has no un-even wear and no high spots. Also, I rotated my tires and the noise continues regardless of what tire I put on. Therefore I assumed it was not the tire. Could it be the wheel bearing? Usually wheel bearings make a consistent howl noise. Could it be the CV joint? But they usually make a clicking noise. Niether conditions apply. Please help

Found out from another site that the wheel bearing is most likely the problem. However, I would appreciate your opinions.

Thanks

It sounds like a front bearing hub assembly to me as well.

Since it's the right front, Try findind a long sweeping left turn like an exit
ramp and see if the sound intensifies under load.

Good Luck,

Larry
