sounds like it could be wheel bearings but I'm surprised that when they rotate the tires they didn't catch this.
The next time you have your tires rotated ask to have the jacked up front end tested for loose front end parts. They can shake it down physically looking for play in the ball joints, tie rod ends, and bearings.
Struts generally wear out and cause a bouncy front end conditioin. Brakes, if properly assembled, won't make any additional noise when turning left or right.
It sounds like a hub bearing, turn sharply (but in a safe area) and listen for a change in loudness of the noise. The opposite side of the turn will be the bad bearing (louder turning left indicates right hub bearing, turning right indicates left hub bearing). Please get that fluid changed ;-)
Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.
With roaring noises coming from the wheel area, we must be very careful in diagnosis because it could be the "Wheel Bearing" which is the most likely cause, but it also can be a tire itself.
Here is how to see which one it is, take the rear tire and put it on the front and put the front tire on the rear.
Next drive the vehicle, if the noise went to the rear of the vehicle and is no longer in the front, then you know its the tire. If the noise is still in the front then you know its the wheel bearing or the CV Joint, but if you do not hear a clicking noise when turning sharply both ways while moving then you most likely can rule out the CV Joints also. Then you know for sure without a doubt it is the wheel bearing.
Have you inspected the brakes. Sounds like it could be a loose pad.
Or, it could be something hanging down from the fender well hitting the wheel.
do u have all wheel drive?
