Default whooshing noise from front end

when im moving, doesnt matter if im gassing or cruising or breaking or turning. I hear whooshing sound from which sound like the front left. it goes WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH like the sound you get from blowing air across the top of a empty bottle. it is definately a rotational noise and its getting annoying and louder. it got louder when I replace my hubcap/steelies with ls mesh rims?

also today something weird happen while I was driving my steering wheel/car start pulling to the right, however normally my car is misaligned and swings towards the left. 10 minutes later it stopped pulling to the right and went back normally to going a little towards the left

this is a completely stock eg with 185k on it

You need an alignment, and also sounds like your brakes are warped. Take it to a shop, they'll align it, they can check your rotors (which sound out of spec) and tell ya to replace em. Make sure to use blank rotors only, no holes or slots. Yes the wheel covers are quieter because they just are. Really sounds like brakes, POSSIBLY your axles. Look at the axle boots under the car for grease flung around.
