There's a low drone that almost sounds like a small propeller airplane. It gets louder the faster you go and you can feel a small vibration in the steering wheel and on your feet through the floor if you really pay attention.

If the sound goes away or there's less noise and vibration when you turn to the right, it's the left bearing. And if it goes away when you turn to the left, it's the right bearing. This is due to the weight transfer off the bad bearing when you turn or round a curve which then makes the noise and vibration not as noticeable. I've changed both of mine and that's how I could tell which one to change both times.
