Undiagnosed problem with driver wheel

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. My 2011 Sienna is having an issue, and I have had two mechanics look at it - but no diagnoses. There is a whirling noise coming from the driver tire area, as I pick up speed. When I get onto the main road, it is just a steady humming. It seems that it would be tire road noise... but they are relatively new and highly rated tires - and it is just the one. The noise gets louder when I turn (like entering the freeway) and when I slow down. When I press on the brakes hard, there is a metal on metal grinding from the driver side, and some vibration. Both mechanics that I went to inspected and... my brakes are at 90 percent, rotors and bearings are good. I just don't know what it could be, but there is definitely something going on - and it's getting worse. I would greatly appreciate any feedback!
- Matt

Hmm? Techs aren't finding it? It does have symptoms of tire, brake, bearing problems not all in order so let's go outside the box:
Are wheels proper for this? OE rims not altered or aftermarket? I ask because a brake can torque some and calipers or parts just too close to some rims rub make noises all over they place and don't see or find anything when off and looking. There would be evidence inside rim or on other parts.
If you can try just moving wheels around or if you think just one try the spare with pressure rechecked should behave full size or the temporary type.
A bearing could still be the issue or the others that match your sounds report and when just missed just need to check harder to rule each possible one out or on the unknown list till it's found. It's a warning to get right on this and fix it IDK what hazard it could be dangerous or destructive to other things?
