Sounds like a wheel bearing

Drive it and after it makes this noise, stop, feel the hubcap of the wheel and if it's warm, it could be the wheel bearing or maybe a sticking brake calliper.
When was the last time you changed your brakes? If the noise goes away when you lightly tap on your brakes you have your answer. You've probably waited too long on that and will have to have new rotors as well as brakes.
I'm not sure a CV joint would be making a noise like that, but don't rule it out.
You don't say if the noise increases in pitch with speed or stays constant. That might make a difference.
Final possible problem the tire belt on that side has separated. You might inspect the tire on that side. And, if you rotate the tires and the noise moves, you've nailed it down and you'll need to at the least, replace that tire.

Take it in and have it checked out. It could be something serious. If the noise only comes when you are accelerating above 50, I would not think it is a wheel bearing. The bearing would make the noise if you are accelerating or not. If it was a motor mount, it would make noise when you take off from a stop too. It would be hard to narrow down without hearing it. good luck.

It could even be a bad motor or transmission mount. I had this noise on my 1997 Pontiac Grand Am. Very loud at times, worse in the heat.
Raise your hood, start the car, put in in drive and then in reverse,while holding the brake, have someone look at the motor while you are doing this, if it is moving alot back and forth while you are changing from drive to reverse, it's going to be a bad motor, or transmission mount.

Could be front wheel bearing or CV joint. Raise the front & support on jack stands. Spin the tire with the wheel hard over to one side. Wheel should roll freely with virtually no sound. Check the CV boots for damage.

sounds like a plastic part has come loose and is being pushed closer to the wheels as the air forces push it closer at higher speeds. Less speed, less pressure. Probably a damaged front air skirt, usually a black plastic part that is below the bumper.

Could be your air conditioning. Or maybe the Flux Capacitor isn't getting the necessary 1.1 gigawatts of electricity. Either way, keep it under 88mph. to be safe.

Its the Gangle shaft, which is being affected by the centrifugal farce as you accelerate!!
