CV or brakes? weird noise while driving.

While driving 30-70mph, I get a strange wow-wow-wow noise from the front end, directly related to vehicle speed. Noise persists while driving straight and turning, braking, coasting, etc. Sounds almost like a mild grinding noise.
I pulled the front wheels off and checked the brakes - slight even rub on the left side, very slight rub at one spot on the right side. I suspected warped rotors, but the noise is really strange and there is no heavy vibration under braking. There is a slight vibration in the steering wheel while driving (very slight - might even be an imbalance or bent wheel though).
I called Jax Foreign Auto in Jacksonville, FL (my new home). They thought it might be the CV joint and not the brakes. Cost is $360 per side for CV, $340 for both front rotors and pads.
Questions: Anyone eve have this noise? Anyone ever dealt with Jax Foreign Auto?
Thanks - JMJ
