Sick front struts - the real source of the noise. Still need to check the attachment of struts. They get spoiled when the struts do not work.
The correct direction - the insulating material of the springs. x2
There are many more sources of noise (sleeve stabilizer, steering rack, weak attachment, etc.). It is easy to diagnose. And I like the words of emill713, he says the right things.

Good news so far. The dealer is getting parts to replace both rear bearings. They have fixed the brake line for a little over $200 ( I will have to talk to them about vibration from wheel bearing causing that issue and if they can cover that as related)
The said they will take it for a drive after replacing the rear bearings to see if the front bearings are bad. They also mentioned that one of my front struts is leaking oil.
Hopefully this stuff will fix the road noise as that is my biggest issue with the car now.

I hope you have a great weekend.

RE: road noise. One more thing to check is the running board/lower skirt, the point of attachment is a really weak plastic piece right next to the jack points. Mine got broken, sounded just like a bad front bearing, my repair was shimming between the skirt and the fender, noise gone.
