Default Question re: front wheel noise on 2004 SE

Hi Forum: Hoping you could be of assistance with a noise that's been coming from somewhere near my front driver's side wheel.

To describe the noise: it sounds as if there is a bit of a crunching sound (not squeeling), but as if something like rubber was rubbing against something. The sound has been getting progressively louder over these past few weeks (I noticed the noise approximately a month ago).
The sound is apparrent at low speeds and occurs via the rotation of the front wheel. At higher speeds (above 20km/h) the sound becomes un-noticeable.

Any clues to the source of the issue? and what potential solutions could be?

Thank you in advance- JKim
