Obviously something is going in the front. Any ideas how to troubleshoot? I may need to take it to the mechanic when it is hot.

The best way to troubleshoot it IMO is to pull the wheel and locate the noise. The age of the brakes doesn't necessarily mean they didn't fail, check the rotor face for a smooth clean track. When you jack it up, spin the wheel manually, that may give you a clue as well.
