I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there... This sound is very hard to describe. :poke:

When driving down the road I am hearing a sound louder than the motor so I know its a separate sound. The sound is louder the faster I go. Not sure if its connected to the motor or not. I recently got in a wreck another driver hit my right front wheel/fender it started making the sound not long after I had it fixed. Not sure if its related.

The best way I can describe the sound is when you hear a big truck going down the road with off road tires. Just not nearly as loud.

It is time for an oil change (will change after the rain stops)

Is it a engine noise or tire sound?

Check your tires for cupping and feathering. Check for anything draging or rubbing.

Might also have a wheel bearing going out.

Does the sound change if you turn the wheel slightly left and right going down the road?

Sound does not change when turning the wheel. It sounds different than an engine sound the faster I go the louder it gets. If I let off the gas the sound is still there but as the car slows the sound is not as loud.

No check engine light, also still raining so unable to change oil at the moment.
