Default 93 jeep making noise when decelerating

Hello everyone my jeep makes a sound from the front passenger wheel when slowing from 25 to 0 but once I apply the brakes it will go away. It's kind of like a womp womp womp grinding sound ( not a terrible grinding just a little.) It doesnt happen while accelerating or turning. I was thinking the wheel bearing hub assembly but I wanted to maybe get a different opinion. Thank you for the help.

Could it be the brake pad wear indicator telling you its time for new shoes as you slow to stop? If not, maybe you've got an early bearing issue showing up... might oughta look into it, grinding and all.

jack that side up and spin the wheel, see if you can reproduce the sound. Pull the wheel and look at the pads if need be pull the caliper for a better look. If nothing then pull the bearings and inspect.
