Is your car SLizAmmed y0? Does this sound happen at a certain time or is it constant?

Look at the plastic fender liner and look for where it's been rubbed. My integra rubbed mine when I bottomed out occasionally. It showed smoothed streaks from where the tire rubbed it.

after some more driving i noticed it goes away when i go on the crown or hump in the middle of the road, i checked my camber with the pole position tool and it was
-3degrees on both front tires, i am wondering if it could be a wheel bearing or possibly a tire deffect

have you checked your bumper... you could find a lot of info on "cars for dummies"

It's on sale for 9.99

I had a similar problem. It sounded as though my cv's were stuffed. It turned out that my plastic steering rack gaurd was abit torn and sticking out and every time I turned hard right it would rub.

i got the same problem , i didnt happen when i got my 15" rims on my car with 195/55/15 , however now i got 16" on my rims and it reads 205/50/16, could this be due to the size of the tires? my car is low but i've only lowered it like 1.5" and it still makes alot of noise, please help!

this isnt something dumb like a splash guard rubbing it is chassi related i took off the cv joint boots and they looked good, i am wondering it if is maybe the wheel bearings. its not dragging a bumper or rubing the fender wells, it is deffinatly a chassis issue

check scrape guard on the front bumper and the lining on the wheel well.... I've had trouble with both of those.

hmm.... perhaps the infamous header rattle....
Is it only in between a certain rpm? if so, then I'd say its the header.... do you have aftermarket?
EDIT: Just looked at your sig
