strange noise

[RRkev]

as the title i have a strange noise on my 2003 l322 i'm pretty sure it's from the rear, it's not constant either, it's like a echoey hum, almost like a tyre lightly touching the body work there is no set pattern to when it will happen but usually on slight right turns at speed but not everytime, i'm thinking possibly a wheel bearing starting to go? although i did have the right rear one done about 10k miles ago, but used a britpart bearing rather than o.e
am i on the right track with this?

If it happens on right turns, I'd look at the left bearing as that will be the one under most load on a right turn.
