We had similar but turning to the left from memory went quieter, so thought it was the left wheel bearing. Thinking about it now may be it got noisier when turning right.
Anyways got car front up in the air, No play on either wheel bearing and from memory the right side was all ok.
The left again from memory was noisy with the wheel seeming to have tight spots, 11 per rotation from memory. OMG its the diff??
Turned out to be wheel bearing, with no play, but on removal, saw etch marks on races and balls. I suspect water had got into the bearing some how and caused the etching. As said the tight spots where very pronounced.
New bearing fitted and all quiet. Some noise is creeping back probably due to the right wheel bearing, but have clutch cable to sort asap as well as the large bore breather hose from down by the starter motor and cam cover as the dip stick always seems to be out of its tube these days, the bonnet stopping it from coming out any further. Something tells me a jubilee clip aint gunna work for the hose clamp down by the starter.
