technical question..please any assistance would be great..

hey guys
im getting this really weird noise from the front end of my car it sounds like. It sounds like something rubbing agaisnt something as I acclerate and go, and the noise stays constant basically until i stop. It almost sounds like the wheels acutally turning and rubbing agaisnt something, the noise it self I cant even begin to explain, you hafta hear it yourself, it almsot sounds like a whirling around and around. Anyone have a CLUE of what this could be and how serious it might be? I need to drive the car to get to work, school, etc. and I dont wanna loose a wheel on the parkway hah.. Thanks

How are your tires? Are they cupped in anyway, this causes road noise as well, but is not dangerous to ride on, just noisy. Also make sure your rotors are in good condition and that you have enough pad left on your brake pads.
