Sounds like the Hub is bad but it isnt, ideas?

So a few months back it sounded like my hub bearing was going out on my front wheels. First I replaced the DS hub and that wheel went back to quiet as usual yet the PS still made noise so I bought a new hub for that one thinking it was the same problem but after installing a new hub no dice.

The wheel makes the exact same wooshing sound of a dead bearing that matches the speed of vehicle and during braking. Then i thought maybe it was just an unevenly worn tire so i rotated the PS tires from front to back (both tires are the same size althought it should be offset per specs). No change there either and an alignment has been done recently.

So the only thing left IMO that it could be is the brake caliper somehow. I did replace the rotors a couple years back on my last break change since the old rotors couldnt be turned anymore, during reinstall then and after the hub swap the caliper mounted back nice, flush and solid as would be expected. Any ideas on the situation or possibilities would be greatly appreciated.

brembro system fyi

Super annoying hearing that wooshing sound all the time now while im driving..

Sure it's a Front bearing? And not a rear?

No on the AWD...

Its not a bearing at all..and not my tires (i dont think) because the rear on the pass side is less than 6mos old and the front maybe a year or so.. and recent alignment so all tires should be rolling straight as possible
