Default Opinion on strange sound

I have an 06 awd is250. Sound is coming from the front right wheel area. Sound is hard to explain but I'll try. It almost sounds like I'm driving on the ridges on the side of Interstate without the vibration. At first I thought it was because my tires were wearing out however, I just replaced All 4 tires and it still does the sound. The sound is only heard when I'm driving straight then it gets worse when I turn left however, when I slightly turn right the sound goes away. It does not make any sound when I'm at a red light or stop sign, just when I turn left only at speeds. I've never heard this sound with any of the cars I've ever owned but this is the first all wheel drive and not sure if it's related to that or any bushings.
Thoughts?

I would say check your fender liner, may be scraping the tire?

No, it's suspension for sure. I'm going to replace both A arm bushings here soon, not sure if that would fix the issue but those are showing signs of age.

This sounds like bad wheel hub bearing.

Kinda what I'm thinking. It's like any pressure on the wheel it makes that sound whole driving. Slight right it goes away.

I would agree with the wheel bearing. Your discription of turning and the sound either went up or away is a tattle tail symptom.

That shouldn't be to hard of a job or hard on the wallet. Good luck.

Thanks fellas. I went ahead and ordered a new one from Rock Auto. We will see how it goes. Next, need to fix the excessive tire wear, ugh.
