Massive noise coming from driver side wheel...

Getting off the interstate last night out of no where this noise happened like I had a flat tire that lump lump, so I pulled over no flat... I was like ummm. So I get home cause I only live like 2 miles from the exit and I look to see If I had hit something like a branch or something to that effect. Nothing! I cant seem to find anything hitting anything, and hit makes this loud noise like a branch is attached to the tire being spun around the faster I go the faster it hits, I really have no idea here. Please help.

sounds like a steel belt is coming out and hiting the fender well. have you check the inside edge of the tire for wear?

It's coming from the driver back side, sorry I should have been more specific.

Yeah I think you should do as laythor says and inspect the inner portion of the tire all the way around. I have a feeling you might find something....
