so i was driving around before and i noticed a very strange sound that almost sounded like something was rubbing up against the front tire. i checked all around the tire but i couldnt find anything that could possibly rub. i pretty sure its not anything with the engine or transmission because it only makes the noise when the wheels are spinning, not when reving in neutral. anyone have any ideas?

Also check inside for loose abs sensor wire inside the wheel. The clip that holds the wire has been known to break or come loose

I was thinking hub assembly, i.e., wheel bearings.

This. If you don't know what failing wheel bearings sound like it can be thought to be rubbing. And they're common to fail on these cars. I had a bad RH Front wheel bearing when I traded mine in.

My guess is a wheel bearing too.

My Monte had a similar sound when the wheel bearings first started to go.... then it got louder and louder
