It is coming from the driver's side. I replaced the wheel hub, brakes, CV axle. And is getting worse.

If you raise the front of the car and turn the wheel by hand, can you hear the noise? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. It could be the carrier bearing inside the differential that is going out. Check out the images below to see what I am talking about. I would drain some of the gear oil out of the differential and look for metal shavings which is an indication the bearings are bad. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
