Default 2004 Honda Civic Lx >40mph low toned, loud growling from front end

Hello,
I have an 04 Honda Civic LX, just recently it started making a low toned, loud growling from the driver front side. It only starts at 40 mph or above, it is amplified greatly upon increase in speed.
No additional noises are present if I turn left or right, I was thinking it would be bearing Orings and/or the bearing center hub itself. Can anyone shed some expertise light on this, please?

Possible bad front wheel bearing - check both sides.

Having this same issue. Does it sound like a helicopter taking off? It’s hard to tell 💯% but seems mine is coming from driver side wheel bearing. I just purchased a wheel bearing off Amazon and will install this weekend. This should solve pro unless it’s cv shaft but highly doubt that. The sound is more humming like a helicopter which is 98% time a bad wheel bearing. If you are not sure I would definitely recommend taking it to a reputable shop tho for sure.


Either way let me know what you found was the issue!
