Default Wheel Bearing I Think?

Got a 4x4 saff think my rear wheel bearing might be goiing.
It sounds like a noise if you blow into the top of a bottle.
Under 35mph you can hear it after that speed the noise goes, also if I put the brakes on to.
I think that it is the passenger rear left because if I turn right the noise seems to go.
Does anyone think that it might be the wheel bearing. Seems to make the noise when the car has done a couple of miles.
Thanks All...

Could be bearing,but it usaully gets worse the faster the wheel turns

And I don't think turning etc affects the rear bearings as much,if it was front bearing it deffo alters noise when you turn

First things first,get it jacked up and check all wheels for play
