Wheel noise while driving??

For the past month or so when I drive I can hear a wheel actually rotating. I can kind of hear it when I'm going straight and then when I turn the wheel to the left I hear it loud and clear. I don't know what it is, but I can hear my front right wheel rotating while I'm driving. I know this isn't normal, but I have no idea what it is.

I got my tires rotated and had them look it over and they couldn't find anything. I figured they didn't really take a look at it because as soon as I left and started driving I heard it again. Does anyone have any idea what this sound is? My steering wheel doesn't shimmy or anything, it's just the sound.

Wheel bearing most likely.

I second that. I had a similar noise that sounded like rubbing and it turned out to be the bearing. Mine was in warranty.

Its a wheel bearing, and depending and the year and miles it is warantee. It takes a little bit cause the wheel bearing are pressed in. so plan on dropping it of for a few hours.

I'll have to double check, but I'm not sure if I'm still under Warranty. If I am not, are they expensive??? and should I be driving on it at all?
