My Honda Accord started making a roaring sound coming from the tire area while driving. Start at like 20 mph and gets louder and louder. I rotated the tires and checked the brakes. It sounds like a 4x4 with big tires and wobbles a little while the roar is winding down when I slow down. The rotors are flawless, brakes are fairly new, the only thing I can think of is maybe axles or bearings.

If you rotated the tires and the noise didn't change then you are most likely looking at a noisy wheel bearing.

Did you check if your wheel had any play in it? Also, does the pitch of the noise change when you transfer the load of the vehicle from side to side?

I didn't check for play I will do that. The noise doesn't change at all, just gets louder the faster I go. I will replace the front Wheel Bearings first and see if that helps. Thanks for the advise.

Well, I would recommend listening and checking for play coming from the bearings before replacement.
