Rubbing noise while driving?

recently i notice that my car makes a rubbing noise while dirving and it getting a little louder when i go faster also..its not really loud but its noticable. what could this be?

Also it seems if i turn left..like going around a bend the noise quiets down some..and around 20mph and lower i dont hear the noise...

If the rubbing gets faster the faster you go, wheel bearings or brakes. probably bearings.

If the rubbing gets faster at faster rpms, its engine or tranny related.

Not sure but you have to do it at a shop since they have to be put in with a press. Or you could buy whole new hubs which is more $ for parts but maybe less labor.
