Default WTF is this noise...my car is brand new!!!

My car starting making an odd sound this morning. I can hear a swishing sound coming from the front left side of the car when it's moving. The faster I go, the faster the sound gets. Swish........swish.....swish...swish..swish...ahhh hh it's driving me nuts. Any ideas what it might be?

Flat tire/low pressure/bad tire?

Try swapping wheels on the front and see if the noise follows the swap.

Could be the backing plate behind your front rotor is rubbing against your rotor.

My '02WS6 that I got new this summer has been making a faint hiss sound while moving which I figure might be the trans/rear end gears breaking in. Hopefully!

In the past I've had brake rotors get surface rust from overnight condensation that goes away after a few miles. Just a couple ideas.
