Loud Front End Noise

For starters, I am a noob to G35s, only had mine for a couple months and new to this forum so go easy on me. I searched the best to my abilities.

My front end is loud and gets louder the more the speed. Sounds like a freakin airplane. It sounds like the tires are mud tires or something. At 80 on the freeway it sounds so loud you can't comfortably have a conversation with the person next to you.

My lights also go on. ABS, BRAKE, SLIP, etc... So I think that I need to check my fluid and possibly replace them but the noise seems like a different issue, wheel bearings possibly?

I put a used set of rims/ tires on Friday, I thought maybe the front tires were in bad shape because the insides of the tires were worn bad but the noise still exists, and didn't change much...

Wheel bearings? Alignment? Tires? Breaks? Where should I start???

Thanks guys

Starts about 30mph and also the car doesn't wander on the road really and the steering wheel doesn't really pull or shake...

Start by checking the brake fluid level, as you already mentioned. Since the abs, brake, and slip light are on the brake fluid might be low.

Then I would suggest getting an alignment before replacing any parts.

Got new brakes, tires, and an alignment, still loud road noises. It has to be the bearings.
