Found my done noise. It was coming from the right rear wheel bearings. I knew the sound was coming from the back but not what side. Somebody on Youtube
said the best way to determine what side the is coming from is to go around a corner fast. If you are going to the right then it is the right side bearing. There is less weight on the bearing so it will make less noise.

I had 2 new tires put on today at a local tire & general service shop.
While I was there I asked for a quote on replacing the front 2 wheel bearings.
Normally I would do my own bearings but I'm not really set up for
it so was thinking about hiring it out.
My car has no droning sound or evidence of wheel bearing failing but at 155k+ miles
I thought it would be a good idea to do them for preventative maintenance.
I wasn't expecting a $1,150 estimate, yeah no thanks. lol
* and that was for aftermarket parts.

It cost me approx. $350 to do both rears and I replaced along with the calipers the rotors, brake pads and the emergency
brake shoes. My car came from Chicago so everything was rusty. I did it all myself. which wasn't bad. The first side tthem which took a week to get.
Once I finished one side it took me 3 hours to do the other side. The most time it took was replacing the emerg. brake shoes which were pretty worn down.
