Default Drumming Noise from front left wheel

Hello

Our Toyota Camry has a drumming noise coming from the left front wheel while the car is moving

you can feel it when you are the front passenger

What could it be?

Is it a rotor? or something else?

cheers

Could be a wheel bearing or a bad tire. What speed do you begin feeling/hearing this? Does it get louder the faster you get? If it happens at slow (5-10mph) then it is probably in the drive line, maybe a bearing. If it begins happening as spped increases it would point towards at tire. Are your tires worn? Could be a cord seperating or uneven wear. Check the tread to see if they are worn even with no scalloping. This is not conclusive but just the direction I would look.
