Exclamation Making a growling/airplane noise

My car has been making a growling noise when I accelerate, and when I turn the wheel to the right. It seems to be coming from the front passenger side really not sure. Oh and my car has 9700 miles on it. Kind of scared because I have been told multiple different things, my tires have been rotated, but I do not know much about cars so I do not want to pay for something to get fixed that does not need to be fixed. I have done that to many times to count. If anyone has experienced this or knows what this is please help!

Welcome to the site!

I believe it to be a possibility that your front wheel hub bearing has dried out and started to grind, I always suggest to replace the hubs in pairs.

There are several great "How To" threads here on the site for the DIY in you.

It could also be a brake pad has broken loose and is causing the noise, however this would be most noticeable when you brake and not just when you turn right.

What have you been told could be the cause of your noise?

"Growling" or "grinding" in the Search box will answer the question "has anyone experienced this".
Hubs. Any mechanic could quickly diagnose it for free.
