Strange noise think brakes worn out??

Can someone help me disgnose this sound. Gets worse and it is correlated with speed, ie the faster the wheels spin the more and "faster"it sounds...

You might try jacking up each side and spinning each wheel so you don't have all the extra road noise interfering.

Almost everything wears out based on either operator usage or manufacturer's skill. About the only things that wear out based on distance are fuel and tires.
Example: The clutch. Some crap out at around 40K miles and others still going strong at well over 100K. Same for brake pads and discs, though they are more susceptible to traffic patterns and terrain . I've put well over 200K miles on vehicles with never a bearing problem.

Like fly said give each wheel a spin and listen for any resistance or anything unusual. If you are hearing a new sound something is wrong somewhere.
