Ok so I'm hearing a noise in my front driver wheel. It sounds like air coming out when I'm driving. When I hit the brakes it stops. when I turn the wheel it gets louder.

the first thing I would do before I even booted up the computer would be take the wheel off and check the brake hardware

Maybe its your brake disk guard thingy? Sometimes they get wacked out and start rubbing on the brake disk.

if it happens every day most likely your calipers are hanging up (need a rebuild)
if it's only on some days or in the morning it's probably surface rust.
other possibilities are a worn wheel bearing (makes your car sound like you have offroad tires) or a wire dangling on the axles.
if the dust shield is rubbing the disk it will leave a slight groove in the disk that you can see on the inside face.
