howl noise from front wheel area

[jeepdad]

I did as suggested, faced each tire square on and tried pushing/pulling with both hands on top to feel for play. There isn't the slightest give in either wheel; no "rocking" at all. It feels very tight.

Also, after a long drive, the suspect wheel was warm but not hot to the touch. But I could feel heat emanating from the wheel.

FWIW, I don't hear any grinding or gravelly sounds at any speed. Just the howl gets louder the faster I go.

Rock or debris stuck in the caliper rubbing against the disk?

when I had a howl the shop forgot to replace a piece of the undercarge cover after doing suspension work

this was my thought as well. I've also had wheel bearings make howling noise and others make a knocking sound when they were going bad. And after I pulled them and replaced them. The old bearing still felt tight but the new bearing fixed the problem.

if it's a wheel bearing than cornering briskly from one side to another should change the sound...
