Make sure it is not your hood. Unscrew the ruber bump stops a touch under the hood and see if this aleviates some your "sound".

Possibly the struts, that happened to me. One of my rear struts was bad but I think the fronts were degraded too. Going over potholes was a chore, after I replaced them with Tokico Illuminas all that went away.

It could be wheel bearing also. That's my problem now.It only makes noise when the weight of the car is on the front. Thank goodness for warranty !
