Default noise from front, right tire area, but not tire...any ideas?

I love this car and have put about 1000 miles on is since getting it a few weeks ago. I'm not happy driving my STi around any more unless I'm absolutely hammering on it.

Unfortunately, I enjoy it so much that I notice every little thing that isn't quite right. There is a new noise coming from the right front. It sounds like tire noise, but they are brand new and weren't making the noise last week. It is a humming sound that is most noticable around 30mph. I can't see anything obviously wrong. The sound gets louder when I turn left and quieter when I turn right. There is no vibration, just a buzzing/humming/grinding type sound. It's not very loud but is noticeable. Any ideas?
