Default Annoying sound 30-50mph

I recently hear this squeaking noise when I’m driving about 30-50mph. When the tire starts to spin in a constant speed I hear the nasty noise (example like somebody is jumping on a bed) from my passenger side wheel. I had this problem once a while back, but it went away after driving on the freeway. I did look around and the only problem I had before was that my axel was leaking greases (I cover the hole with a gasket maker), but I don’t think that would cause the problem since my old axel didn’t have any grease either. Anybody had a similar problem?

is it more of a clicking sound? the "jumping on bed" sound sounds like old springs compressing lol. I don't know what that would be on a car but my guess is that its axles.

It sounds more like rubber is rubbing together.

So a squeaking bed sounds like two rubbers against each other? I can think of a few things...
just playing... check the fender splash guards.

My CRX is actually raised. The gape is like 3 fingers in the front.

Dude have you seen a stock CRX? 3 finger gap is practically slammed... you might have a busted spring

Will the dude I bought it from lowered it soo low, I could touch the front bumper with my shoes (sideways) but I raised it so I would't have problem hitting the speed bump.

The noise only makes when I'm going around 30-50 mph so I really don't think it's the spring. The breaks are fine with the tire, so my hope would be the axel?

look in ur fender well and see if there is any plastic pieces that are hitting the tire... if u can pinpoint on which side it is coming from, take off that tire and look in ur fender well.
