Ok to start off, the past half year my front two tires have started to get low like every other month. Had the tires rotated during my last oil change (approximately 1200 miles ago). Now the past few weeks I've had to start re-inflating the front tires every week, and to boot, this past week I hear a distinct whirring noise coming from the area of both wheel wells. This occurs under acceleration/cruising/turning/driving straight but not at a stop or idling. I had the bushings replaced about 2 years ago. Do you think it's the bushings again or possibly something far worse? No unusual tire wear other than the passenger front tire has a little outside wear from a curb I parked against once. If the weather is better tomorrow I will take a video from in-car.

Try swerving from side to side slowly in an open area, and see if the noise comes and goes.

My first thought is wheel bearings.
