Default Weird Sounding coming from front right tire

All of a sudden when i drive it sounds as if i am dragging my muffler but the sound comes from the front right tire area... nothing is loose, Ive checked everything... i dont have any weird vibrations, and it only makes this annoying noise when im driving at a slow speed.... anyone have any ideas?

Yep, sounds like a wheel bearing.... check your LEFT front. The sound is resonating. I had a wheel bearing go out around 10k. It was a freak occurrence and it sounded the same. I blamed my tires at first. I'd almost guarantee its a wheel bearing.
