Yes you could possibly still have a bad bearing even if you find no excessive play or noise when checking it. The sign is the increasing noise when you drive it. As you drive it could be heating up melting lube out, you get friction and expansion of parts, tolerances become less noise starts and increases.
I would first eliminate all other possibilities.
Make sure the noise is coming from where you think it is.!!!!!!!
If you have eliminated the pebble possibility look for other likely causes.
Brake pad wear indicators? bent backing plate? something rubbing on the axle? loose mounting bolts at axle to transmission.? If you eliminate every other possibility
what are you left with.????
