'05 Expedition front end growling noise

Hi guys, I'm new here and I've been having some problems with my wife's Expedition. There is a growling noise that is coming from the front end somewhere and I am stumped. The noise doesn't start until after 25-30 mph and then gets louder and higher pitched as speed increases and also if you turn the wheel to the right the noise stops. A mechanic friend told me it was a hub assembly, so a month later I have replaced both hub assemblies and both CV axles, also I just bought new tires yesterday because the old ones were wore down, trying to eliminate the noise with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're positive the noise is coming from the front end, then what's the condition of the front brake pads and rotors?

Rotors are less than 2 years old, new pads within 3 months. No grooves or cracks in either.
