Thanks!
Bearings typically make a grinding/scraping noise. usually more pronounced when you are turning to one side.

hmm, my wheel bearings made a humming/whirring noise, and i believe this is usually the case. maybe you're thinking of bad CV joints? but yeah, it does change when turning, and how depends on which side is bad.

Why not? Taking out the knuckel was like 15 mins. Lie? Slacking out the bearing with a small sledge 10ish mins. Lie? Putting the new one in another 10ish mins. Lie? replacing knuckle 15mins. Lie?

This is the case. Bad wheel bearings make a humming/whirring noise.
