I does it more the faster I go and when I turn right going slow, also seems to get louder at different speeds. I had it at the dealer prior to replacing the tires to check the front end and they found nothing. They said it was probably the tires. Any ideas? If the alignment is out will it cause road noise? It tracks straight.

I'll bet that's it, wheel bearing. Have the dealer check all of them. I read another thread, somewhere, of someone having this "whoop-whoop" sound and sure enough it was a rear wheel bearing.
