It is always something to be concerned about, but the list of potential issues is really long.

First just check your lug nuts to make sure that none of them are loose.

The easiest thing to do is take it to a reputable, local, independent (i.e. non-corporate chain) front end/alignment shop, describe the symptoms and have them inspect it. You might have a very simple problem like a tire out of balance. You might have a really dangerous problem like a bad ball joint, wheel bearing or tie rod end.

Of it may have just lost a balancing weight.

Good Luck.
