Default Sounds like snow tires

2013 Sonic 1.4L. 96K miles. Out of the blue, it sounds like I have heavy lugged snow tires on the front. It’s a wwwrrrrrrr sound that changes with the speed of the car. ?
Checked the front brakes. They’re good. It doesn’t shift any different than normal. Belt slipping in a tire ? I’m extremely puzzled by this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe a front wheel bearing is failing. Can you isolate left vs right? Also try shift to neutral and coast and see if it persists.
