Default Noise from wheel bearings?

I have a very loud noise from some of the wheels. When turning left it is quiet, almost totally quiet in the car.
It is hard to hear exactly from where the sounds come from. And it is very loud and around 30 mph it is almost unbearable to be in the car. Going faster the sound is a bit less loud.
I suspect that it is a front wheel bearing but searching here someone said it could also be a rear wheel bearing.

It has disc brakes in the rear too and it is 4WD. Are they different in the rear wheel bearings?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like a bad CV joint in one of the front axles. A common problem.

When I googled the CV Joint problem the symptoms described doesn't apply to what I can hear. It is a typical bearing sound IMHO
