wheel bearings

[John Van Vuren <jigger@wirural.net>]

I noticed a new noise last night...  barely audible, but upsetting
anyways.  I'm thinking it's a front wheel bearing - it's not a growling
noise yet, but I think that's what it will be when it grows up  :)  It
goes away when I turn hard left, and gets louder when I turn hard
right.  I've already checked the obvious, wheels are tight, brakes are
fine, cv joints tight, etc.  Am I correct in my diagnosis?  Which side
is the culprit, I mean does a noisy bearing get louder with load or
unloaded?

Thanks in advance for your help.
