Doubt it. A bad throw out bearing only makes noise when your foot is on the clutch. When your foot is off, the bearing has no pressure on it. So that rules that out.
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.
