Does it sound like it is from the right side wheel well?

Is so might be the splash sheild that goes around the tie rod is loose and hangs out and rubs on the wheel. Then when you turn right it might move in with the tie rod and stop. Hard to say, just a guess if all your wheel well is tight.
Is the front section tight?
Could it be loose and the wind pushes it back when your driving?

I think it's the wheel bearing.
Let me guess. Sounds kinda like a low pitch whine...
Yea, I def. think wheel bearings
For this, you have to kinda disassemble front wheels. But do not fret, it's not that hard. 15 mins. each wheel.

Bearing I have replace usually sound like a rumble or a low whine and will change if you weave the car a little. That is why I didn't go that route. Also you usually hear bearings around 20mph and above, not when you go really fast.

The splash shield may not be anywhere near touching the tire when car is standing still when you look at it. Wind can push it against tire when your driving. I've had this happen to mine because one of the mounts pulled through the shield. But I didn't hear any sounds. What I noticed was the inside sidewall of my tire was shiny.
