Default Noise, could it be wheel bearings?

Not sure if it's just in my heard but recently I'm beginning to hear a faint noise sometimes when I'm driving. The noise is a low howling, or flat tire rolling. The noise is more noticeable when I coast at 70-80km/h (45mph).
I recorded the sound. I will take it to the dealership this weekend for a diagnostic.
If it is indeed the wheel bearings, am I under the 72 months (6 year) Powertrain warranty? I know I am cutting it close since it's almost 2017 soon.

Ive just picked up a new to me, 2012 IS350 f sport.
It has a similar noise . I cant make it change by swerving the vehicle, loads the bearings, so Ive also put it down to tyre noise atm.
