I have a rotating 'wum' noise on the driver side front wheel area that occurs from 10mph to 50mph where it gets faster as you go and quieter as you go faster. I found a flat spot on the tire so I rotated it to the back. No fix. I checked for play on the wheel on the hub and there was none (wheel bearing symptom). Also I have heard if the wheel bearing is going bad it's a consistant growl noise. I have stock brakes which seem to be fine wear wise. The driverside rotor and pad seem to catch more when the front is in the air, but the rotor is smooth and the wheel doesn't catch at a certain point (not warped).

The driverside wheel doesn't spin as easy as the passenger wheel though. Almost like there is more friction from the pad on the rotor.

Is there anything else I can check before buying parts to solve this problem or any other suggestions on what this could be?
