Front end questionable noise

New guy here. I have done some extensive research and can't find much of a consensus.
Background: 2008 350, recently replaced front hubs, pads and brake calipers after experiencing vibration at 47 mph+, squeezing when braking and feeling sticking braking, grinding when turning all predominantly from the front passenger side. I have unfortunately had plenty of work to do with the truck since I purchased last summer including entire new rear brake system, new water pump, new transfer case (due to a bad front drive shaft that has not been replaced, don't need 4wd right now and can't afford to have the work done). When the transfer case was done about 4 thousand miles ago I was told the hubs were on the way out and the U-joints weren't in great shape.

Just finished the front end work and while everything is much smoother (don't feel the grinding when turning, shaking, etc.) I still hear a "swoosh" sound when the wheel makes a rotation. It seems to be at the same place each time as it is more frequent when I speed up. It doesn't seem to begin until about 29-30 mph.

I know I need new U-joints and will get that done as it is out my my scope of ability, but would like to be able to make it where work can be done a bit cheaper (Not Jackson Wyoming), and that wouldn't be causing this sound would it?

The easiest fix I have found seems to be a warped rotor that might be rubbing, however it didn't seem to be, but that's not to say I just didn't notice. When else should possibly be looking at?

Thank you for any help.

Look at the dust cover, that it isn't bent and rubbing somewhere. Also check the inside of the rim for rub marks- it could be scrubbing on the caliper or something else.
