Rotate the tires first to eliminate the easy.

To share two recent bearing issues in my life-

My wife has a bearing in her SUV. It squeals like a loose belt, and will heat up and quiet down. I would swear it is a loose belt, but it is completely speed dependent, not motor RPM dependent.

Usually my bearing failures have been more squeals/ grinds/ loose bearings you notice while doing brakework, etc... but my latest volvo was different.

My volvo had the rear wheel bearings go last year or so. For months, I SWORE it was noisy treadwear. Sounded like a truck in the back. Straight line good old 4x4 knobby tread noise on the interstate type stuff. I bought a new set of tires(needed them anyway). No improvement. Internet search on subject suggested bearings. Problem solved. Bearings where in that car were bolted in/ not press fit and relatively easy to change. It really was hard to differentiate between the two types of noises in that case.
