The first thing I think of is a wheel bearing, as KeithR notes. They can make all kinds of noises. A rear one on my old C900 ranged from a quiet, low rumble to a steady rattle (like a bunch of 10mm nuts in a small can) at highway speeds.
But his note on a bent wheel is worth a look. Are your tires wearing properly? Do swap tires front to rear to see if this makes a difference.
This sounds silly, but are you sure it's from the front end? Sounds can be really deceptive.
Are all your accessories--PS, A/C, alternator, water pump OK? I've had these make all kinds of noises--but not fail--on different cars.
Let us all know what you find.
Good luck!
