I'd suspect wheel bearing as well, but I'd start by rotating tires to see if the noise changes. Also make sure all four tires are properly inflated. Start with the inexpensive options first.

I have the same noise. I changed the left hub and the noise is still there. I'm going to rotate the tires like shorod said. While the wheel is off I'll check the right hub.
