If you have a friend who has a lift you can use, that would be the safest. Sometimes they develop some play in the wheel, (but not always) so you can check for any play by wiggling the wheel side to side and up and down.
If the engine RPM contributes no change to the sound, my bet is in the wheel bearing as above mentioned :dance:
