could be brakes? try to ride the brake and turn from side to side and see if the noise changes. could also be in a wheel bearing.

for some reason my brake backing plate was rubbing on the wheel at times when turning the wheel causing noise. I bent it out of the way and there has been no problem since. I put the truck on stands rotated the wheel by hand and was able to locate the source of the noise.

mine did that last week all of a sudden, my inside pads were shot and the wear indicator was rubbing the rotor, i waited four days and ended up chewing one rotor for it. i did a quickie look at the pads this spring and all looked good, but i should have looked more careful as the inside pads wore down and he outside pads were over half way yet.

jack it up and check if the wheel isloose on the hub,a wheel bearing can make it do this cause the wheel is not flat in the bearing and makes it wobble a lil bit,thats where i would start if the brakes are fine,if the brakes look wore in a weird way check that bearing for it may be bad

I have the same problem,noise sounds like its just in front of the dash area.Happens when turning over 30 mph either right or left.Very annoying & I need to look the truck over soon to get rid of it.
