OK. It only happens when the wheel is turned right it gets quicker with speed just a slight turn in the steering like a 1/2 inch and bam there it is. i can feel it in the pedals and the pasenger can hear it as well. ive tried swiching tires around even useing the spare on both sides one at a time. the sound is like a mud tire hum going down the road if the wheel is strait or going left it goes away. please some one give me some tips or beeter yet tell me you have expirenced this and kwow what it is thanks any input is greatly welcome. oh yea i have stock svt wheels and stock size tires stock suspenstion but bat cross and grooved rotors.

It may be a rubbing going on. Have you checked the inside of each wheelwell? To see if you see any contact points. Look for something shiny, or unusually clean to indicate a point where the tire is rubbing the inner fender or wheelwell somehere.
That will be a good start.
good luck!

could be a few things, but it sounds like a CV joint, though i cant say for sure without hearing it.

well at least that gives me something to tell a shop to look at the car is 6 years old and 145000 miles. but would it only be noticeble turning one way the car handles fine like the day i bought it with 33 miles. and would the sound get faster with more speed.

yes its possible, if your alignment is off just slightly, it could cause only one side to rub during a turn.

True. But the spare on each side one side at a time made the same noise. So i dont think rubbing is a issue.
