I am hearing a rubbing noise from my front right wheel when driving. It's a "rub......rub......rub......rub and then the faster you go the faster the rub sound gets. rub..rub..rub..rub. Does this sound like a wheel bearing to you?

I think if it was a wheel bearing it would be more of a grinding/clanking/scratching sound. But that could be it..

could be a midget in your wheel...going rub...rub...rub...or a wheel bearing or even a warped rotor

Damn midgets! LOL I feel stupid. I didn't even think about a warped rotor. I guess because I'm not getting any pulsating in the pedal or steering. Cheaper than a new bearing.

Is it a sound or does the wheel shimmy too? Might run your hands 'real gently' along the front and back of the tires (we all need to carress our tires every now and then...they need love too)...if they are coming apart (broken chords) then you can feel it...
If you aren't feeling the brake shimmy, may not be rotors... could be your brakes aren't releasing...replace the brake line could help...mine had a rubber lining flap that would block the brake fluid and lock up the brakes. Hard to find but it was the hose.

How are your brake pads...may be the warning metal...or whatever you call it

does sound any different when turning
I have had small rocks get stuck in the holes on the circumference of the brake rotor. It rubbed on the brake caliper making de noise.
