Default Roaring sound coming from front end?

Would like some input on this.. Fixing one issue at a time! ha.. Ok when im driving my front end start making like a roaring sound.. it almost sounds like tires rubbing but i checked the tires and stuff rubbing and there isnt anything that i can see.. The car was sitting for over a year before i got it.. Not really sure what to check now... maybe the wheel bearing hub? or something with the drive axle? any ideas?

Jack the front up and see if you can turn the wheels and find the noise.

when its up on jacks, grab the tire and see if it wiggles from side to side...if it does, then it needs a tie rod....if it wiggles up and down then it needs a wheel bearing...

If it wiggles up and down and left to right, its still the wheel bearing.

stop buying your gas at Exxon, that Tiger in your tank has made its way to the engine compartment causing your tires to wiggle up/down, side-to-side and in/out... watch out because soon it will be doing the hokie pokie and turning itself about.
