Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

Check tires for abnormal wear.

If you perform the above and fine no movement, then look for loose exhaust components (shields), also move fron wheels from front to rear (LF to LR, RF to RR), if noise move with them, then tire is problem.
