see if any of plastic dirt covers is loose, under air pressure it might be rubbing your tires while you’r driving

lift up the front and shake the wheels back and forth, if you got play its the bearing.

Its probably a bearing. Make sure you check the suspension/steering components as well.

bearing noise increases with a hummmmmm in a straight line at speed, C/V joint only makes a noise when cornering

He's right ^^^^^^^^

Been staring at this screen to long today. Left side CV joint, not bearing, for exactly the reason Dave said.

I had this noise last year...got louder when I drove over 40-50 and became more pronounced when I turned to one side. It turned out to be my bearing and the stealership informed me I had a broken stabilizer bar. Had both replaced and the noise went away.

I bought a newOEM bearing pretty cheap and got it within a few days. However, the addition of thestabilizer bar and labor to do both that killed me.
