Default I hear roaring sound from front wheel?

Just the other week ive been hearing a roaring sound coming from the right front wheel?
Im thinking it might be a bad bearing.It sounds the loudest around 40-55mph.Please help,any ideas?

Definitely sounds like bearing. Also a worn idler arm or tie rod end will cause a roar if your tires are fairly aggressive. If your tires are wearing normallythen it is more than likely the wheel bearing.

put it in 4 wheel drive and see if noise stops.If it does it is the actuator switch on transfer case is bad.
