If the noise�is road speed related, it may be as simple as�loose lug nuts, and the wheel working/wobbling on the brake drum.

Does it happen just once, or repeatedly? If the latter, is there a rhythm to
it, ie: speed or rpm related? Could be a binding CV joint perhaps, if the
noise is related to road speed.
