Well, first make sure its not the wheel bearings that have run dry.
Jack it up by the A-arm just enough to get the wheel off the ground.
does it make the noise with the hubs locked, unlocked, or both?
Next, see if the wheel will move by grabbing the tire by the top and bottom (12 "o" position and the 6 "o" clock position) and see if it wiggles that way.
if it wiggles much, the bearings may need to be replaced or greased.
BTW, how many miles ya got?
