Possibly the wheel bearings are worn out I had that type of noise and thats what I changed to fix it. That could affect the braking too or maybe your rotors are warped. Check your tie-rods and bushings also.

Jack up the car and grab the top and bottom of your tire and see if it you can move it, also you can spin the tire and see if it has alot of resistance and you will probably hear the noise also. I would also check the brakes worn rotors and pads could cause you to have noises also.
