do you feel this through the pedals?
does the noise go away and get louder if you turn left or right?
you should if it's a wheel bearing...
not to hard of a job...
pop the ball joint out, remove the tie rod end and take off the top bolt.
take strut to a good machine shop and have them press in the bearing.
and reassemble...
usually the bearings can be had for around $40 and pressing cost 10-20
depending on where you go..

HTH!
