a front end noise?
I was coming home from work the other day, I stopped at a light and all was good, untill I started to take off from the stop. A rubbing noise started coming from the left(drivers side) front tire area and I can almost feel the vibration in my brake pedal. It does not make the noise when you go much above 15mph, and if the truck is warm, no more than 5-7mph. It sounds almost like a wheel bearing is going, but I wiggled the tire and there was no play in it, I also took the tire off and looked at the whole brake assembly. I didnt see anything out of wack with anything. I need to get the front end aligned and the braked done(now that I looked). Does anybody know what this sound could be?

It could be brakes grinding. Most people, when they look at the brakes just look at the outboard pads and not the inboards. They can grind just as good as the outboard pads.
It could also be a backing plate rubbing against the rotor. That can make a rubbing noise, but the fact that you can feel it in the pedal leads me to believe that it's brake-related.
