front suspension/wheel problem

today i was driving my g/fhome and i noticed my drivers side front wheel was making a really loud humming type noise, the faster i went the louder it gets, and its really loud and just hums, also when i hit bumps on that wheel the car seems to wanna pull to that side, also when im at a stop and turn my wheel i hear a squeeking type noise.....any ideas what it is?....or how i can check or what to checkfor?

sounds like a wheel bearing but i would say jack up that side of the car and shake the tire and check all the suspension components then take the wheel off and give a good visual inspection.

k i just got in from tkaing the wheel off etc, and i noticed i had a nail in my tire, so i switched tires with a good one and its still making the noise, everything looks fine and i tried shaking the wheel sideto side and it moved a tiny bit but nothing major and felt tight, and i shook it from top to bottom kinda and it didnt budge at all, so im assuming its my bearing is gone?....i think maybe the rain today got in there soemhow and killedit, how much would a new bearing cost me?
