Something in FWD mode is making noise. Can you pinpoint down where the noise is? Have you checked or changed the fluids yet? I'd recommend Royal Purple or Redline. Yeah, they are not cheap, but they are full synthetic fluids and well worth the money.

It could possibly be the front differential unit, had the same issue and a chunk of the ring gear broke off. It's common cause the front diff gets constant wear in auto

make sure all the tires and wheels are the same size and circumference....any mismatches can cause this noise.
