Thank you, I’m hoping it is the wheel bearing. I don’t have access to a lift, nor do I have the tools to change a wheel bearing. The dealer wanted $1,500 to change the front and $1,500 for the rear. Maybe just have to take it in and let them see what it is.
And the tires are fairly new so I’m pretty sure it’s not that.
Side note, from your username, are you a pilot. I used to have a 76 and 77 Arrow and miss it dearly.
Thanks again.

I doubt you'd hear a bad pilot bearing. Even if you could, a pilot bearing would make a noise relative to RPM. You said the noise relative to speed, not RPM. So that rules that out as well. So much for the Stealer's opinion.
Also, CV joints usually make a clicking noise at low speeds, so I'm ruling out CV joints as well.
I'm still going with wheel bearing. And just because you don't hear a change when you steer in different directions, it doesn't NECESSARILY rule out the front wheel bearings. It's a general rule of thumb, but there are exceptions to the rule.
BTW, it could also be a bad tire, but I doubt it.
If you can, try the methods I outlined earlier. Otherwise take it to an indy for diagnosis.
