If the noise increases with turning then it is likely the wheel bearing, if it was due to acceleration/deceleration then it would suggest CV.

Now the problem is to find out which side. This can be harder than it looks. Feeling for roughness when you turn the wheels while the car is jacked up would be great to run it down but they don't always make noise or feel rough when turned by hand, swerving while driving does not always tell you because you don't know whether it is an inside or outside bearing that is causing the problem. You can listen and try to hear if it is more pronounced on one side or the other. So you must try to nail it down using your senses and some luck. I have gotten it right and wrong in the past. Some folks just do them both to be sure.
