Default New bearings?

My 99 Accord ismaking a loud growling noise while in motion, most prominent at around 40mph (even when I shut the engine off in Neutral). I'm thinking worn wheel bearings.The noisealmost goesaway only when I take a steep left turn (not so while making right, or even while making slight left turns like changing lanes in freeway).
1) Can I be sure its the bearings?
2) If so, can i figure outif itsthe front or rearbearings (I can't quite make out where the noise is coming from). How about right or left.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like bearings to me. Drive with another person in the car, no radio, windows down to find the bad wheel(s)

That worked. Reardriver side was the culprit.
