This just started.

When I turn to the right, I hear a snish, shnish, snish, timed to the turning of the wheel, not the engine. Goes away when driving straight, and is half volume or less when turning to the left.
My thoughts are wheel bearing, or CV joint. CV joints usually go pop, pop, pop.

Ideas, thoughts, comments?

I may not even be close, but I had a metallic like swishing sound that varied with tire speed last time I was at PittRace (RIP), I could only faintly hear it on low speed turns or when I was on the concrete curbing rather than the asphalt.

Turned out that I had corded the insides of my front tire (total devastation), so the sound was tips of the broken cords brushing the track/curb.

Probably a long shot, but take a peek at your tires.

Does it sound metallic? Otherwise I'd check your fender liners.
I also recommend checking the liners, especially if you're lowered... My liner mount at the bumper broke and will make that noise on occasion

Took it into the shop today. It was loose lug nuts! Of all things?

They also mentioned that the passenger side ball joint is starting to go. I'll get the fixed on my next regularly scheduled servicing.

Noises are funny. It can be really hard to tell what's making them and exactly where they're coming from.
Glad you got it figured out.
