Default Wierd Brake Noises from the front

I having a strange problem with my front brakes. Well it seems to be emanating from the passenger side, then as i get on the brakes more the car shudders and it sounds like its both sides.

I've already searched the site and I believe it to be either wapred rotors, or a brtake line that fell loose, only i dont have a jack to put it on till this weekend. It seem to happen as a hit a pothole on the local street doing about 20mph.

This is waht differs from what most people conclude about this problem. My noise starts out real low and picks up with speed, only it goes back to being low once I at about 50-60mph, I know some of the sound is being covered by road noise, but even next tot he divider the sound is still pretty low with the window down.

The sound gets extremely loud, and the car begins to shudder when I step on the brakes at this speed, and it slows down as the car slows down, If I speed up again the sound goes away. This leads me to believe it has to be the brakes also, maybe its me not wanting to hear the noise, but it seems that my brakes aren't working as well as they used to.

Now before I get the its the axle thing or wheel bearing, keep in mind ride control and comfort are better today then they were last week.
