It could be a bad tire, or wheel bearing......

I would start with the tires, rotate them front to back and see if it goes away.

I had that noise and it was the front wheel hub bearing assembly. Buy it from Ford if your bearing is bad because it is the cheapest you will find.

Agreed, the hubs are shot. Bring plenty of $$ when you go to the dealer.
