Just another data point. My car has 126k on it. Over the last month I noticed a noise similar to what you describe, though it was less clearly coming from one side. Since I have the notoriously noisy Avon 550s on the car, and they are getting toward the end of their useful life, I suspected them, but no change in the noise after rotation, and lack of change over different surfaces suggested the bearings. After a few weeks of this, the left side started to exhibit more traditional wheel bearing noise, i.e., louder in right-hand turns, but it did not decrease noticeably in left-handers. Nonetheless, I ripped the left front corner apart and had the new bearing pressed in last week. This relieved the more obvious bearing noise, but the overall sound is still present. I strongly suspect that the right side bearing is just about as shot as the left one was, and that both bearings singing at the same time made it difficult to discern initially whether the noise was the bearings or the tires.
