The bad bearing is on the driver side. The others are quiet. The weird thing is that the onset of noise was gradual. I tended to accept the noise as inherent to the car and began driving it less. Once I realized something was wrong I didn't know what to attribute it to, since I had bought new wheels, tires, and had an alignment done all around the same time. I hope a new bearing will solve this problem because it was beginning to sound like a truck with offroad tires.

For those diagnosing a noise problem, I noticed I could modulate the sound with braking. The noise was not altered by cornering. Ofcourse the sound remained upon taking it out of gear at any speed.
