Front wheel noise

Pulsating low frequency rubbing type sound coming from the front left area. Especially noticeable at lower speeds on smooth road surfaces. Suspect a worn wheel bearing but not sure. Problem not solved by having the front rotors turned and new brake pads fitted. Anybody experienced similar? Any tips on front wheel bearing replacement?

Usually, someone familiar with wheel bearing noises on these cars can spot a bad one quickly once the car is up in the air, just by turning the wheel and listening. Changing the bearing is not that bad a job but is made significantly easier using a specialty tool set like the SIR system.

Thanks. Had it checked out yesterday and confirmed that it wasn't the bearing but tire noise. Running on 4 year old Bridgestone Potenzas where the front left tire has developed a very slight unevenness for some reason.
