If it was a wheel bearing, it make the noise driving down the road. I would have a mechanic look it over for you. But I would suspect one of your pulleys making the noise. Like the tensioner pulley or even the alternator. If your mechanically inclined, remove the wheel well and remove the belt and spin the pulleys by hand to see which ones make a noise and replace.
