I have a 2005 Camry. I hear a whining sound, almost like wind blowing through something. Does this sound like a bad bearing?

I’ll get the tire off soon and see what I can find. Sound appears to be coming from the front passenger wheel area.

I guess it was simple fix. I got under the car and some of the clips holding the splash guard came off. I replaced and drove around for a few minutes, the sound went away 🤣
