    Which wheel bearing?

    Hi.....S3 2015
    I think I have a bad bearing , when I had the car 4 years ago I used to get a very faint humming noise at 50+ mph..... Changed all tyres and didn't make any difference ,now 4 years and 12k later noise is slightly louder and at 39mph , sounds like the rear , when I turn left hand bend I can still hear it , when I turn into a right hand bend it fades .

    Doesn't get any louder if I go faster but you can still hear it.

    so if I'm thinking right , it's the right side and I'm assuming the rear , no play in any bearings just the humming , with it being an S3 quattro ,I can't spin wheels very fast once jacked up.

    Any other ways I could diagnose it?
    I do have access to a 2 post ramp if it helps.
