A rumbling noise from front end

All of a sudden, my car is making a rumbling noise, almost like running on the rumblestrips on the side of some highways but not as loud. It gets louder and higher frequency as I go faster. It's really noticeable above 40mph. Can't hear it with the windows open. Dealer said it was tread noise--b.s. it never did that before. Rotor? brakes?

Anyone know of a TSB related to this?

Sounds like it might be a wheel bearing.
