Thanks for the reply, but it ended up being the front passenger wheel bearing. It was a pain to do, but in a day I got the job done. I could not remove the hub from the knuckle without removing the knuckle from the car and visiting a friend with a press to remove the old bearing.

One of the inner raceways came off stuck on the hub. I was told they have something called a bearing splitter or bearing separator for the job. Unable to find one, I dremeled the inner raceway off. This actually worked really well.

The sound is now gone with the wheel bearing replaced.

Thanks for all of the replies everyone!
