Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 2002-2005 section. It could have bad wheel bearings or U joints. Did you see if the lug nuts are tight? The wheel could be loose.

I noticed the same sound today after getting an alignment. I got home and found 4 out of the 5 lug nuts were loose.
The mechanic did tell me I had a bad hub assembly. Could this have caused them to come loose?

Make sure the lug nut holes in your wheel aren't ovalized now.
