Re: bad noise inside the car
A better description of the noise you're hearing would help.
Are you sure it's not the bearing? It will make a lot more noise with the weight of the car on it than it will just spinning in the air on jack stands.
With the front of the car jacked up; have you tried shaking the top of the tire towards-and-away from the car? If it wiggles, the bearing is likely bad.
What about the brakes? Have you removed the wheel and inspected them?
How do the axles look?

brakes are fine,I tried to shake the top of the tire no sound I didn't inspect the axles cause i don't know how ...it look like the sound goes from them by the way this car was in accident before i bought it looks like the impact was in the front drivers side because of fresh paint on the left front wing

Re: bad noise inside the car
What kind of noise does it make while you're driving?
Grinding?
Clicking or popping?
Variable rhythm, like a "wah-wah-wah" noise?
How loud is the noise?
There's only a handful of things it could be if it's associated with the axles, wheels, or suspension components.
Check the CV boots for leakage. Also make sure your transmission fluid level is where it should be.

Re: bad noise inside the car
Sounds like a wheel bearing. If you have a lift get the car up and let it run in gear. Use a stethoscope against the knuckle and compare sounds from left knuckle to the right.
