Does anyone know what causes a bike wheel to make a scraping/wooshing sounds?

Google is just trying to not hurt your feelings.
I see people triple my size and their bikes don't make that noise.
Bikes know the difference between pure muscle and gross Yorkshire pudding and gravy flab, that is probably why, Jiggles.

Turn the bike upside down and rest it on the handlebars and the seat. Spin the wheel by hand and look for places the wheel is probably rubbing against the brake pads. From there, you need to determine if you have side pull or center pull brakes.
Good info here:

Still early in the morn. The wheel is prob slightly out of alignment. Easy check is to look at the wheel lugs/nuts and see if one or both are loose. If yes, just put the wheel back into alignment and tighten up the fasteners

I got a multitool thing with it with alan keys and spanners on it, but it vanished into think air with the bike lock I bought. If I need to tighten bolts I'm gonna have to go to the store and buy some tools.. again. And it's raining today. Ugh
I'm gonna have breakfast then get on with it. Hopefully it's an easy fix.
