Howling in front end

Good morning,

It could be worn front tires causing the howling. you can confirm by rotating the tires and see if the noise stops coming from the front.

beyond that, it could be the hub bearings which is common. They get brake dust and the environment in the bearings and it destroys the races.

do you have a two wheel drive or four wheel drive?

It is four wheel drive.

Okay, try the rotating of the tires first to see if you need new tires.

beyond that, you will be looking at possibly replacing the hub bearings.
