I am getting front wheel bearing noise. It sounds like the right front. When I turn left it is noisy and when I turn right the noise goes away. Does the sound correspond to the right bearing being the noisy one. I will probably borrow my son's stethoscope to listen to them both before I change it. I have replaced the wrong one on a different car before. Thanks, Roy

If you lift it up and spin the wheel by hand most of the time you can feel the bad side by holding you hand on the coil spring. Feel it for loose motion any loose play is not acceptable. This has a 100% kill rate if the bearing is bad bad.
From my experience, when turning towards the bad bearing, the noise goes away. When driving straight the noise returns, and when turning away from the bad bearing, the noise gets worse.
The kill rate is low sometimes you have to install chassis ears on it to pin point the bad bearing. I have had a 90% kill rate with chassis ears. If its a hub and bearing assy and you miss your shot you can install the one you took off on the other side if it feels good.
If its not a bolt on hub and bearing assy and I don't think yours is you have your work cut out for you.
Front; Follow OE installation instructions: "Install the wheel bearing with the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder toward the inside of the knuckle."

Usually if there is wheel bearing noise it's the same either direction. On the other hand power steering can make noises that sound like wheel bearings and the sound can stop when turning one direction or another.

Sounds like the right bearing to me too.
But like you, I prefer to check with a stethoscope before I change them.
And it's not a bolt on...steering knuckle has to be removed and bearing pressed out/in.
