At lower speeds you can slightly hear it when cruising but its REALLY noticeable when braking. I took a look at the rotor and it looks like a part of the outside edge (thats usually rusted a bit on all cars where the brakepad doesn't hit the rotor) is scraped a bit.
I hope it isn't the wheel bearing, thats a $300 job... Had it done two years ago on the passenger's side.
Probably going to have to lift at least the one side to check for either problems. :S

Wheel bearings hum usually. A way to check is if the hum gets louder on turns due to the added load (left front gets louder on right turns, right front on left turns).
If the sound came along all of a sudden, it could be a small rock or pebble stuck between the pad and rotor. Just re and re the pads and make sure the shims are aligned properly.
