Have you rotated your tires every 5000 miles? If they were in one place for more than 5K, they could have developed some abnormal/excessive wear lending to slipping/separating belts. If you hear a noise as you describe you most likely have a bad tire. It was masked by the lack of weight on the rear tires, but now that it is under load on the front (all the weight on it) it is obvious. You should expect such a noise (if this is in fact what it is) to only get worse as the tire gets worse.
You can jack the car up and spin/examine the roundness/wear pattern on each tire. Switch them back one side at a time to localize the bad tire, but if you have more than 10K on the tires you should replace all 4 as having uneven tire sizes from replacing just one can trip the ABS b/c of the speed difference between the wheels (this is how the ABS sensors sense).
