The hub assembly will cause that sound for a while, and then when it gets close to going out it will kick the abs light on like it did for you. Be careful, cause sometimes the noise will come from one side but it is not the side that is bad.Sounds strange huh? A qualified Tech can find out in a flash.
Based on what you are saying, I would say with 90% certainty that you need a new wheel hub assembly. The part will cost arround $250 - $300, I believe. The actual R & R (removal and replacement) should take around 2 hours, maybe less. Be careful whith who you have diagnose it and repair it.
