Just so that you can rule out tires, try swapping front to rear and see if the sound changes. Its relatively quick and cheap.

I had some Yokohamas on my Matrix that sounded exactly like bearing noise. Made the turn thing and the sound did change slightly, so I replaced the bearings.

Nope still there. Did a quick tire swap front to rear, and it was greatly diminished. Felt like an idiot.

Installed some Goodyear Viva tires and the road noise dropped to almost silent.

Learning from that, a friend's Prius had some noisy tires, so playing a hunch, I swapped front to rear.

Sound did not change. So I replaced the bearings. Yeah, they were shot and now nice and quiet.
