Default Roaring sound?

My first post..now off to business.

It sounds like the driver side tire to me, my wife isnt so sure.

The frequency of the roaring depends on the speed that we are going.

It is easily twice as loud as it was before the roaring.

Just started a few days ago.

any ideas of what I could be looking for?

A bad wheel bearing would be my first guess.

You should fix it immediately. Verify that it is the problem, though.

Lift the front of the car and put it on jack stands. Grab the top of the tire and rapidly push-and-pull the top of the wheel towards-and-away from the car. If it rattles or moves independently of the vehicle's motion, the bearing is shot.

^^ Along with that, inspect the tires for worn spots, un-even wear, bubbles, etc.

Is there any sort of vibration or shaking at any speeds?
