Wheel bearing noise?
I have a noise from my driver front that sort of sounds like a playing card hitting a bicycle wheel. Not that loud but you hear it.
If I turn the wheel a bit it goes away.
Only when driving straight.
CV joints usually make noise when turning.
I didn't take it apart yet, I wouldn't rule out debris somewhere.

Common issue is that disc rotor metal backing vent plate rubs on the disc it self. If you jack up the car, remove the wheel and inspect the backing plate. The area prone to rubbing is on the bottom, so crawl under the disc rotor and look up from underneath it. Make sure theres good gap, if there isnt grab a long flat head screw driver and wedge it in between the rotor and the plate to spread it open a bit.
