Hub Bearing?
Most likely a wheel bearing you can hear them squeak when the car rolls.
I drive down an alley on occasion to listen for anything unusual on the car.
Roll down the windows and turn off the radio, and listen for noises. When you drive a car at speed on rough roads, or with out of balance tires or warped rotors it will tear up the bearings.
The check for that is to jack the car up at the wheel and rotate it or wiggle it side to side if there is movement or wobble could be a problem. Hope this helps keep us updated we can help avoid some big fixes on occasion.

You'll need to jack up the front or rear of car where sound is coming from, grab the sides of the tire and try to wiggle it side to side and up and down. There should not be movement or play. If there's movement odds are that is the bad bearing and/or other loose front end parts. Obviously the tire might spin but if your unsure maybe bring it to a tire shop they like helping .
