Thanks guys.

It's a 2012 Buick Regal, 65000 miles, tires have been changed recently back in december.

I notice the sound goes away when turning slight right at highway speeds. Left does not do it. It's definitely one of the front tires I think?

The sound is recent as of the last couple weeks. I didn't think much of it til someone in the car asked about it and now I notice it. It's definitively loud.

It was a bad wheel bearing on the back side. PSI was good all around.

We replaced the wheel bearing and the sound is gone. Kind of disappointed that it went bad so early but at least I tried and did it myself and saved money vs going to a mechanic.
