Welcome to AF!!
There are a couple of possible causes. One of the causes is a wheel bearing going bad. But a far more common cause is a worn out brake pad. The wear sensor on the pad will contact the rotor and make the noise you are speaking of. I would pull the wheel and check the brakes first before I went to the expense of changing a wheel bearing.
